Send a letter to Malaysian timber giant Samling telling them to stop legal harassment of forest defenders
Samling Plywood has slapped SAVE Rivers — a grassroots NGO — with a defamation lawsuit designed to silence the organization and bankrupt its directors. SAVE Rivers published reports from Indigenous communities in Sarawak who found Samling logging their land without consent.
Samling will attempt to crush SAVE Rivers in court in a strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) suit. And we can’t let this happen.
Tell Samling to respect Indigenous rights in Sarawak and the right of civil society organizations to publish community concerns as a matter of public interest.
