Solidarity with artist @odeeart who's being sued by fishing giant Samherji for a spoof website in which the company appeared to apologise for bribing officials in Namibia to secure lucrative trawling rights. https://t.co/zMfIWuTMaK
Icelandic artist @odeeart faces legal action from multinational fishing corporation, Samherji,
for a conceptual art piece denouncing corporate wrongdoing. Samherji is currently under criminal investigation for corruption in Namibia. https://t.co/sS66KJyhCH
Það besta við þennan gjörning er að Þorsteinn hafi ákeðið að bíta svo harkalega á agnið að hann ætlar að Streisand effecta þetta mál, sem þeim var svo ágætlega búið að takast að kæla, alveg langt fram á sumar.
I urge those who believe in the power of artistic expression, freedom of speech, and corporate responsibility to stand with me in this legal battle against Samherji.

The fact that Samherji took me to court in London just underlines the importance and urgency of the artwork. It shows the importance of freedom of speech and holding corporations accountable.

Ég þarf ÞINN stuðning! Aðfarir Samherja gegn mér í London er gróf aðför að tjáningarfrelsi og tilraun til að hylma yfir meint brot Samherja í Namibíu og víðar.
