Andy Hall
Edit ProfileCareer
He is based in Bangkok, Thailand. Hall has Bachelor of Laws – 1st Class Honours Degree from University College London. His thesis was looking at proposals to develop occupational health and safety (OHS) laws relating to organisational criminal responsibility for industrial deaths but he took leave of his Doctor of Philosophy to assist migrant workers in Thailand.
In early 2013 Hall was sued by Natural Fruit Company following the publication of the Finnwatch report "Cheap Has a High Price".
Hall had interviewed workers for the report, some of whom were undocumented migrants and reported poor working conditions, unlawfully low wages, confiscation of official documents, use of child labour and excessive overtime. Altogether Natural Fruit has brought four cases against Hall, for alleged defamation and computer crimes.
Several human rights organisations and trade unions have condemned Natural Fruit"s actions as judicial harassment and an attempt to silence a human rights defender, and called for the cases to be dropped.
