[DOC] Open Letter to Bill Turner, Chief Executive, Anvil Mining Ltd [regarding Dem. Rep. of Congo]

Rights and Accountability in Development (RAID) has been informed that the staff of the Congolese human rights organization, l’Association africaine de défense des droits de l’homme (ASADHO/Katanga) have been subjected to a campaign of intimidation and threats...ASADHO/Katanga has been threatened apparently because of the allegations that have been made about Anvil Mining’s role in the tragic events at Kilwa, which, in the face of Congolese Government inaction, RAID and others have asked the Australian Federal Police to investigate...RAID would urge you to issue a public statement deploring the intimidation and threats against ASADHO/Katanga and to use your good offices with the Governor of Katanga and the Government of the DRC to request that matters concerning the Kilwa incident should be properly investigated and resolved according to the rule of law.
