Find out from Steven Donziger (the human rights and environmentalist lawyer who served a six month prison sentence for successfully suing Chevron for poisoning the water in the Ecuadorian Amazon) and Paul Pan y Miño of Amazon Watch. https://substack.com/profile/7445653-steven-donziger The prosecution of Donziger, which has been condemned by the United Nations, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, Amazon Watch, and 64 Nobel Laureates, is a literal corporate prosecution. After the Southern District of New York refused to prosecute Donziger, the judge assigned a corporate firm which had represented Chevron to go after him. The judge also made the unusual move of handpicking the judge to oversee the case and chose a judge who is part of the Right Wing Federalist Society which gets funding from.... you guessed it... Chevron! Paul Paz y Miño, Associate Director at Amazon Watch, has overseen its Clean Up Ecuador campaign since 2007. He has been a professional human rights, corporate accountability and environmental justice advocate for over 25 years. He has been Colombia Country Specialist for Amnesty International USA since 1995, served on staff at Human Rights Watch/Americas in 1995-1996, and was the Guatemala/Chiapas Program Director at the Seva Foundation for seven years.
