In 2011, human rights attorney Steven Donziger helped Ecuadorian Indigenous peoples and local communities win a landmark $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron for toxic pollution in the Amazon rainforest. However, due to relentless legal attacks by Chevron and for refusing to turn over his confidential case files for the oil company to review, Donzinger has now been on house arrest for an unprecedented 8 months. These erroneous charges against him must be dismissed. 29 Nobel laureates signed onto a statement calling for Donziger to be freed. I stand with them, together with The Rainforest Fund, which worked tirelessly to claim justice for the Ecuadorian communities who lost many loved ones due to oil pollution and lack of proper cleaning as result of Chevron’s illegal practices. #FreeDonziger. makechevroncleanup.com
