Uganda has imprisoned 11 #StopEACOP activists for 70 days after a peaceful protest at Kenya Commercial Bank. Defending the environment is not a crime! Release the KCB11 now. #FreeTheKCB11 #ClimateJustice www.rainforest-rescue.org/updates/1399...
“It’s hard to imagine a more vivid picture of corporate-state collusion than activists being led into a trap and arrested for trying to share their concerns about a fossil fuel project characterized by rights and environmental harms,” #StopEACOP #FreeTheKCB11 cri.org/uganda-relea...
🚨 URGENT: 11 human rights defenders face criminal charges for peacefully delivering a petition expressing concerns about #EACOP. Both ENDS calls for their immediate release, and cease of all further intimidation, harassment and arrest of citizens speaking out against EACOP. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP
Kampala Uganda: 11 youth—#StopEACOP defenders—peacefully walked into KCB Bank to deliver a letter urging the bank to divest from the destructive EACOP pipeline. They were arrested.
The fight to end health-wrecking fossil fuel financing is global, and growing.

@kcbbankug lured 11 peaceful #StopEACOP activists into their basement, where they were ambushed and arrested on false charges. Their crime? Attempting to deliver a letter about the bank's involvement in the destructive #EACOP pipeline. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP #@KCBGroup #@NSSF_ke #@kcbbankug
