Dear GNHRE network members,

A report on human rights and fracking in the UK was delivered to No 10 Downing Street by Bianca Jagger, one of our patrons, on 26th November 2014. The report is co-authored by the GNHRE and its partners, the Environment and Human Rights Advisory and the Human Rights Consortium. It was commissioned by the Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation.

I am delighted to add that a very vigorous activist campaign is now sweeping the report into its arguments, led by the tireless founder of Mothers Against Fracking, Julie Wassmer. As part of this wider initiative, a campaigner, Geza Tarjanyi, who is walking from Downing Street to Brussels, is due to be welcomed into the European Parliament with Romanian Campaigner, Alexandru Popescu, who has walked over 2000 KM, from Pungesti, also to raise awareness of the dangers of fracking. MEP Keith Taylor has handed a letter to Mr Juncker from Geza, requesting a special audience for the two campaigners and Geza will be giving a speech to the EU Parliament, in which he will now mention this report and call upon the EU Parliament to respect human rights and to prevent their violation by fracking. 

Please do pass the word. The report, in full, including appendices, can be downloaded from the link on the GNHRE site: http://gnhre.org/2014/11/29/report-delivered-10/

Warm regards to all,

Anna
