Support the Human Rights of Ghanaians' Against Abusive Gold Mining Practices

The Wassa Association of Communities Affected by Mining (WACAM) in Ghana need your support. Intense research in areas including the operational area of Ghana Australian Goldfields, GAG, found massive human rights violations, e.g. forced evictions, contamination of water bodies for local consumption and the destruction of villages. The gold mining company GAG has recently been bought by Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, and is financially supported through credits of an international consortium which consists of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the German Development and Investment Company (DEG), the Dutch bank FMO and the Swedish bank SEB. The IFC is playing a leading role and has a 20% equity stake in GAG. Write to the IFC and tell them that you are aware of the situation and that you expect a thorough investigation and for the human rights violations to stop.
