We join with 14 other organisations to condemn the legal action brought against the journalist Tom Burgis, the Financial Times and HarperCollins in London. Two lawsuits have been filed by Kazakh multinational mining company Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) for what it claims are a series of “untrue” and “highly damaging” allegations made by the defendants about the company.

As we prepare for challenging and necessary conversations at COP26, Index on Censorship brings attention to the cases of people whose voices are too easily forgotten in climate change debates.

Join us for the virtual launch of the autumn edition of Index on Censorship magazine, A Climate of Fear. The conversation will be chaired by Index on Censorship acting editor Martin Bright who is joined by Jimmy Piaguaje, an indigenous defender and filmmaker of Siekopai nationality, and Beth Pitts, a writer and activist who has been working with indigenous communities in Ecuador.
