U.S. human rights lawyer Steven Donziger has been placed under house arrest for ONE YEAR without trial in retaliation for a historic environmental court judgment against Chevron.

Donziger was a lead lawyer in the $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron for dumping 16 billion gallons of toxic oil waste in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Chevron was found guilty and ordered to clean up its mess. Instead, the company fled Ecuador and launched a scorched-earth offensive to bury the case in litigation and “demonize Donziger.”

Please call on the U.S. Congress to act on the request for an investigation into this injustice from members of the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human Rights.

Donziger has now been under house arrest for over a year for refusing to turn over his computer, cell phone, and confidential case files to Chevron. He is the only lawyer in U.S. history who has ever been detained pretrial on a contempt charge, and he has already been confined for four times as long as the maximum possible sentence.

29 Nobel Laureates, hundreds of lawyers and bar associations, numerous prominent NGOs, and many others have called for his immediate release and for Chevron to comply with the rule of law and pay what it owes to the people of Ecuador.

Call on Congress to investigate the judicial harassment, violations of due process, and overall mistreatment of Steven Donziger!
