Free the Slaves office, 1320 19th Street NW, Suite 600
(Washington, DC, Dupont Circle Metro)
Please join ILRF, Free the Slaves and The Human Trafficking Pro Bono Legal Center for a brown bag lunch with Andy Hall, renowned human rights advocate and labor rights activist.
In early 2013, Hall was sued for criminal defamation in Thailand after the publication of the Finnwatch report "Cheap Has a High Price." The report included allegations of poor working conditions, unlawfully low wages, confiscation of official documents, use of child labor, and excessive overtime. Hall's legal case in Thailand received extensive press coverage. Hall's lawyers continue to battle the criminal charges levied against him.
