[sas-announce] Thai labour activist under attack - act now!

[David Broder]

Publicis Thailand, the Thai subsidiary of French-based global public relations giant Publicis Groupe (with revenues of Euros 3.83 billion in 2004) has charged Junya Lek Yimprasert, coordinator of the Thai Labour Campaign (TLC), with "defamation by propagation." Yimprasert's "crime" was republishing an article from CSR Asia Weekly on the TLC website about an unfair dismissal case filed by five workers against the public relations company. If convicted Yimprasert faces a possible jail sentence, payment of monetary damages, and limitations on her or TLC's important labour rights work. 
 
 Your action is needed today to help get Publicis to drop this lawsuit. Take part in the protest at http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=96
