Descargar: MP3 (5.1 MB)
The new Southern Africa Campaign to Dismantle Corporate Power is organizing the Peoples’ Tribunal on Transnational Corporations, which is going to be held in the Bosco Skills Centre, in Manzini, Swaziland, on August 16th and 17th.
The Southern Africa Campaign forms part of the Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and Stop Impunity (www.stopcorporateimpunity.org).
The Peoples’ Tribunal, under the auspices of the Permanent People’s Tribunal on Transnational Corporations, will take place over two sessions of hearings. After this first one in Swaziland, the second will be in May 2017 in a place yet to be confirmed.
It is a space where communities that have been affected by the actions and operations of Transnational Corporations will present their cases, and where they can network and mobilise.
Two of the cases will be presented in Swaziland by Justiça Ambiental – Friends of the Earth Mozambique. Two big transnational corporations will be denounced for their coal mining activities in Tete province, with hundreds and hundreds of families affected: the Indian Jindal and the Brazilian Vale.
Real World Radio interviewed the director of Justiça Ambiental – Friends of the Earth Mozambique, Anabela Lemos, to know more about both cases and why they are going to be exposed during the Peoples’ Tribunal.
