Back to EpisodesAllianz Sues Palestine Action Protesters
Description
Allianz, a major insurance company, is suing six individuals from Palestine Action for nearly £300,000 in damages from protests at their UK offices. The protests targeted Allianz for insuring Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms maker. The defendants, who work everyday jobs, argue its an unfair fight as civil courts have a lower proof bar and no legal aid. Allianz maintains they respect lawful protests but not staff intimidation or property damage. The lawsuit could set a new precedent for companies responding to activism.
