Founded by eye-witnesses to Phulbari massacre 2006,we work to prevent mining,coal power and climate crimes. Not a charity, work in solidarity with communities.
GCM chaimain Paul Shackleton requested @DrRHashem if she could help them with information about Bangladesh government's plans and legal breaches of GCM. He asked Rumana to send information by direct email. Rumana politely declined to help GCM, said: can't become GCM "consultant"
As the meeting ended, chairman of GCM Paul Shackleton approached @DrRHashem Phulari Solidarity coordinator anxiously asking her about legal status of the company
AGM quickly wrapped up within 30 mins when a shareholders has asked whether GCM has community consent to go ahead with the project. Michael deflected rhetoric question and quickly ended agm.
Samarenda Das asked about whether GCM has published any of their community consultations. Michael Tang abruptly referred back to the website. Lack of transparency on this issue
Michael Tang "not at liberty" to share details of their activities. Very defensive approach undertaken by the Michael Tang and the members of the Board.
Dr Rumana Hashem from Phulbari Solidarity Group challenging GCM who are bluffing their shareholders about the viability of GCMs activities. There is no current contract with the Bangladesh government and interm government asking for evidence after 17 years of no GCM projects.
The GCM AGM lasted less than 9 minutes today. Usual minimal representation of GCM activities and minimal interest in engaging with, or being representative too, both shareholders and communities of #Phulbari.
Very low turnout for the GCM AGM shareholders critical of Michael Tang for a failure to answer shareholders questions. Shareholders very unhappy as Michael Tang master of not answering shareholders questions or concerns.
We have just arrived at the GCM AGM in solidarity with communities in #Phulbari and to represent their voices. Took a while to find the room, reminds me of how hard it is to find a successful GCM project.
#AltabAli was murdered for Resisting racism and hatecrime. There has been so many protests against racism since but #HateCrime#racism and sexism against Bengali im/migrants and #Bangladeshi British has not stopped in the UK.
Join the event on 24 April if you have time #Resist
Such a good thread on AI use & racism. It’s how AI is changing while reinforcing the academic habitus of white writing. Am thinking here of the gorgeous textual experiments of Brand, Hartman & others who have helped me unlearn some of my training in academic writing
Teaching Criminology was not something I planned to do. Now I'm doing it as experience told it's important to share and learn together about increasing crimes and unbelievable forms of offences that women and men of differences could be subjected too in 21st century society 2/
The GDPR Act 2018 made it explicit that cybercrime is a punishable act. How does @EssexPoliceUK interfare?Why did they stop the detective team and Action Fraud to investigate hacking and scamming of @DrRHashem and @PaulVDudman devices? Challenge #InstitutionalRacism and #sexism
@BTP@SBSisters@woc_gws@CSWGWarwick@UnisNotBorders@CWomenAA@CMRB_UEL@EssexPoliceUK I'm still tweeting from a mobile that's already hacked and the suspects and stalkers is still accessing my mobiles Google storage. The sergeant told me that he has removed the Detective who is investigating my case to work with Met, meaning it will be slower. I am outraged.

If you are reading the thread below on this #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek2023 do please consider reposting and sharing with your network. I’ve also witnessed the stalking that @DrRHashem has been experiencing. I swear @EssexPoliceUK have failed us. I expect our safety from our police
This is Outrageous but not the first time that woman of Colour and climate and community activist @DrRHashem@PSG_BD has experienced racial assault and hatecrime. What is @EssexPoliceUK@BTP doing about #HateCrime in public spaces?
I've experienced further stalking and direct harassment by 5 white men on quiet zone @c2c_Rail earlier today. I was travelling from Westcliff station to Fenchurch Street to give a statement to police re my ongoing #stalking and #hatecrime on C2C & other British Transport

This is Outrageous! Hi @BTP and @EssexPoliceUK what are your definition of safety and physical attacks on train and streets? Do Take Urgent Action now.
#HateCrime of any kind should not be allowed anywhere
#HateCrimeAwarenessWeek2023
One of the white senior men even touched me and warned me for I've taken a phone call from the #BritishTransport police. The #police eventually came but they let all of the men go and told me "no crime has occurred". The sargeant leading the team said: "no crime was recorded" 2/
