🎉The time has come to reveal the nominees in the first category in the #EuropeanSLAPPContest
The Corporate Bully of the Year
Awarded to the corporation that has most aggressively pursued #SLAPPs & legal intimidation tactics against its critics.
Check this 🧵for details!
#Spain: @greenpeace_esp has been sued for reporting on alleged water & soil pollution caused by giant cow farm Valle de Odieta. Activists face threats for flagging how business damages the environment. Time to shame those who choose money over our planet. #SLAPPContest
#France: Afriland First Bank launched a campaign of harassment and intimidation against whistleblowers and transparency campaigners following a report by 2 NGOs. Activists remain under severe pressure. Call out corporate bullies! #EuropeanSLAPPContest#StopSLAPPs#AntiSLAPPCon
Though #Kelkos withdrew lawsuits v/ Shpresa Loshaj who called attention to the environmental damage caused by the company’s operations, its political links & deep pockets can intimidate environmental activists & dissuade them from highlighting abuses. #StopSLAPPs#AntiSLAPPCon
