Stand with Anti-Slavery Activist Andy Hall

  • by: Walk Free
  • recipient: Mr. Wirat Piyanpornpaiboon, Natural Fruit owner
Andy Hall is a British campaigner with a special focus on the rights of migrant workers. Two years ago he undertook an investigation on behalf of Finnwatch into potential labour abuses at Natural Fruit, part of NatGroup, a Thai company that processes pineapples and supplies retailers around the world.

Instead of addressing the allegations published in Finnwatch's report, Natural Fruit decided to try and silence Andy with lawsuits. He could now face 7 years in prison and $10 million in legal damages for his investigations.

If this case proceeds and Natural Fruit are successful this would not only be a grave miscarriage of justice for Andy Hall. This process could set a dangerous precedent for other companies in Thailand that might take a similar approach when allegations are raised of modern slavery in their supply chains. This threatens the work of anti-slavery campaigners but also workers in Thailand who might be too afraid to come forward and report abuse.

Join the call for justice: demand that Natural Fruit drop all charges against Andy Hall and thoroughly investigate and take action to ensure there is no modern slavery or exploitation in their business.
Dear Mr. Piyanpornpaiboon,

I was deeply concerned to hear about the multiple charges brought against activist Andy Hall by Natural Fruit as a result of his investigations into working conditions at one of your factories.

I'm calling on Natural Fruit to drop all charges against Andy Hall and thoroughly investigate and take action to ensure there is no modern slavery or exploitation in your business.
