*Cambodia Clean Sugar Campaign*
Media Advisory
On Tuesday, July 3, at 8:30am, leaders of communities that have been displaced and dispossessed by the sugar industry in Koh Kong, Kompong Speu and Oddar Meanchey and other "Clean Sugar" campaigners will hold a press conference at Meta House (*#37, Street Sothearos Blvd, opposite Phnom Penh Center*).
They will announce a call to consumers around the world to stop buying the 'blood sugar' sold by companies that have perpetrated or profited from land-grabbing, forced evictions and other violations of human rights. They will present a powerful online video that urges European consumers to boycott *Tate and Lyle Sugars* products until the company and its suppliers compensate the farmers whose land and crops were stolen to make way for their plantations.
