Oxfam asks for action on land grabs

17 January, 2012

It’s time for GROW campaigners to prevent the UK Government risking undermining the rights of land grab victims.

The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill would make it harder for communities affected by land grabs (and other injustices involving corporate actors) to seek redress in UK courts. This will make it harder to hold the companies responsible to account. So it’s time for action…

Ask Foreign Secretary William Hague to amend the bill

We need you to contact William Hague to let him know you believe the bill undermines the UK’s commitments on business and human rights. 
  
The Bill has already passed through the House of Commons and is being discussed in the Lords. So there’s no time to waste. Please contact William Hague today.

Thank you,

Lisa Rutherford
UK Campaigns Manager
