Albania: Activists opposing hydropower plants face consistent harassment from local authorities & companies, says new NGO report; incl. company statements

The report "Communities under Pressure - Findings from Valbona, Albania” by The American Bar Association (ABA) Center for Human Rights alleges that activists and community members who object to proliferation of hydropower plants in Valbona, Albania are facing consistent harassment from local authorities and companies.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited the companies mentioned in the report to respond. Gener 2 has responded. Tplani SHpK and Brecani Security have not yet responded. We did not invite Valbona Project Company and 4A- AL as contact information was not available. The  American Bar Association Center for Human Rights sent a rejoinder to the Gener 2's response. Gener 2 provided a response to the rejoinder. 

Materials with full information and the responses & non-responses are below.
