--- Begin Message ---Dear EarthRights supporter: The PBS show "NOW with Bill Moyers" will feature a story tonight about EarthRights International and the Unocal lawsuit."NOW with Bill Moyers" homepage: http://m1e.net/c?25169799-f6tHt2XwvJ3Uw%40397656-q5RTKY0L5KfYA Here's information about the show taken from the "NOW" website: The energy giant Unocal is one of the last American companies doing business in Burma, a country condemned by the U.S. government for a record of heinous human rights abuses. Unocal along with its French and Thai investors took on a unique partner in a project to build a pipeline, the Burmese military, which has a notorious reputation for rape, slave labor, and murder. Should American corporations like Unocal be held accountable for business dealings overseas? NOW takes viewers into the Burmese jungle with courageous Burmese worker Ka Hsaw Wa, who has documented the abuses related to the pipeline project. The program also tells the story of Ka Hsaw Wa�s wife, Katie Redford, an American lawyer and a founder of the human rights group EarthRights International. Redford is using an obscure law passed in 1789 to bring suit against Unocal to make it liable for human atrocities committed in the name of corporate profits.
