50 Organizations Call on Biden to Pardon Human Rights Lawyer Steven Donziger

HeadlineJun 06, 2024

Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Amazon Watch are among 50 groups urging President Biden to pardon human rights lawyer Steven Donziger, who was targeted for prosecution by Chevron after he successfully sued the oil giant on behalf of 30,000 Amazonian Indigenous in Ecuador whose land was devastated from oil spills. The director of Amazon Watch said, “A pardon for Mr. Donziger will send a clear message that corporations in the U.S. cannot misuse the judicial system to criminalize human rights defenders.”
