Chevron and a U.S. district judge are teaming up to silence human rights lawyer Steven Donziger and those fighting for a cleanup of the oil giant's environmental contamination in Ecuador.

A recent bar licensing hearing in New York was the first time that witnesses were able to address Chevron's fraud in its retaliatory civil RICO case in an attempt to undermine the legitimate $9.5 billion judgment won by Ecuadorian communities in 2011.

Donziger was a driving force behind that judgment, and Chevron has targeted him with likely the most well-financed retaliatory SLAPP campaign in history.

Witnesses explained how Chevron and its lawyers – led by a former deputy mayor to Rudy Guiliani – engaged in unethical and illegal acts to target Donziger based largely on the testimony of a single corrupt witness who was paid at least $2 million by the company and who later admitted to lying under oath.

Many respected lawyers, authors, and activists also testified on Donziger's behalf and described him as a man dedicated to justice for Chevron's victims.
