Amnesty & CORE petition: UK Govt. must hold British companies to account

Vodafone accused of giving GCHQ access to their networks for mass surveillance. Complaints suggesting BT is facilitating drone strikes in Yemen. When UK companies are suspected of contributing to human rights abuses, the government has a process for handling complaints against them.

But this process isn’t working properly – many allegations against UK-owned corporations are being dismissed before they’re even examined. That's why we've teamed up with CORE to call on the UK government to make sure companies are investigated for alleged human rights abuses.
