The Buddha is a Defender of Human
Rights, Natural Right, Animal Right. All monks in Cambodia must stand up
to become Human Rights Defender like the Buddha, and to stop human
rights violations in Cambodia.
Press Conference on Cambodia Clean Sugar Campaign on 03 July 2012 at Meta House
*Cambodia
Clean Sugar Campaign*
Media Advisory
On Tuesday, July 3, at 8:30am, leaders
of communities that have been displaced and dispossessed by the sugar
industry in Koh Kong, Kompong Speu and Oddar Meanchey and other "Clean
Sugar" campaigners will hold a press conference at Meta House (*#37,
Street Sothearos Blvd, opposite Phnom Penh Center*).
They will announce a call to
consumers around the world to stop buying the 'blood sugar' sold by
companies that have perpetrated or profited from land-grabbing, forced
evictions and other violations of human rights. They will present a
powerful online video that urges European consumers to boycott *Tate and Lyle Sugars* products until the company
and its suppliers compensate the farmers whose land and crops were
stolen to make way for their plantations.
