This podcast is a picture of what a hero looks like.
Steven Donziger is a US-based environmental lawyer. He was part of a legal team that earned a major environmental judgment against Chevron Corporation on behalf of Indigenous and local communities in Ecuador.
Chevron responded with a civil racketeering lawsuit and a massive defamation media campaign targeting Steven and his clients.
In 2019, Chevron obtained a judicial order requiring Steven to give Chevron access to his computers and online accounts, which contained decades of attorney-client communications. When Steven refused, Chevron engineered the filing of criminal contempt of court charges.
When the public prosecutor refused to prosecute the case, the unprecedented appointment of a private prosecutor drawn from a law firm Chevron has worked with in the past.
Steven was required to wear an ankle bracelet and confine himself to his two-bedroom apartment for nearly three years of pre-trial litigation. He was denied a jury but sentenced to the maximum sentence possible for a non-jury offense, which he served in part in a federal penitentiary and in part at home.
The US court continues to hold his passport, preventing him from traveling for work or other advocacy.
