For more than 50years, China's Red Army has occupied Tibet, leading to more than 1 million deaths and depriving Tibetans of human, civil, political and cultural rights.

GUNNS 20 - Mulit-million dollar lawsuit against conservationists
|
|
|
The Gunns 20 case is a disaster for the company and continues the attack on the forests and free speech. Even if it has some small wins against the remaining 15 defendants, Gunns would gain little or nothing. It would be a pyrrhic victory and considering the impact on the company’s reputation, a clear loss for shareholders.
