Video Testimony from Liberia by Woman Whose Land was Absorbed into Oil Palm Plantation
This woman tells a public meeting about her experience and what happened to her land. Palm oil companies are grabbing more than 1.5 million acres of land in Liberia and are violating the human rights of local communities, warn Liberian NGOs. On the eve of a United Nations meeting in Liberia, Friends of the Earth International is backing the local NGOs’ demands - including renegotiation of contracts for land concessions and a reassessment of the Liberian agricultural development strategy on which these concessions are based.
