When LMN member group Colombia Solidarity Campaign made a submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights
about London-based Rio Tinto’s association with Muriel Mining
Corporation in Colombia, Muriel mining accused the Colombian
Interchurch Commission for Justice and Peace (which had provided
information for the submission) and international human rights
organisation Peace Brigades International (which provides human rights
accompaniment for the Commission) of being guerrilla collaborators.
Since both organisations are associated with ABColombia, an alliance of
British and Irish development and human rights organisations,
ABColombia refuted Muriel Mining’s libellous allegations. Now Muriel
Mining has responded to ABColombia. For the entire correspendence, see http://www.business-humanrights.org/Documents/MandeNorte.
