URL: http://makebatpay.com/

Description: Website hosts a petition that will be sent to the Serious Fraud Office, UK; US DOJ; Kenya Director of Public Prosecutions, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC); Uganda Inspector General of Government (IGG); and the Ministries of Justice of Rwanda, Burundi, and Comoros. States British American Tobacco has been implicated in conducting illegal activities in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Comoros. A documentary by the BBC revealed that BAT engaged in corporate espionage and bribed politicians and policymakers in the name of buying political influence and undermining tobacco control policies. Petition states 'We believe global corporations should not be able to act with such impunity and disregard for people’s lives. We are deeply concerned about the devastating health effects of tobacco throughout the supply chain, and we support democracy across Africa. For these reasons, we demand full and public inquiries into BAT’s activities. And we stand with public officials and people in the United Kingdom, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Comoros, and the United States to make BAT pay.”
