Demonstrate at Department for International Development
- to be rebranded as the Department for Corporate Welfare


WHEN? 11.45am, Tuesday 11th November
WHERE? DfID, 1 Palace Street, London (nearest tube Victoria)
Please come dressed as one of DfID's corporate clients - wear a suit


On Tuesday 4 November, the World Bank (IFC) approved a multi-million dollar loan for the BTC pipeline project. It did this despite the many problems and questions still surrounding the human rights and environmental impacts of the pipeline and despite huge international protests.

Many thanks for your invaluable support for the campaign. It is vitally important that the campaign continues - now more than ever as the pipeline has gained public financing. We need to hold the banks, corporations and governments involved in this project accountable for their actions.

So please join us at a peaceful demonstration at the London office of the Department for International Development (DfID): it was DfID Minister Hilary Benn's approval that allowed UK participation in the Bank's yes vote.

JOIN US at 11.45am, Tuesday 11th November at DFID, 1 Palace Street, London (nearest tube Victoria) for a 'rebranding' of DFID as
the Department for Corporate Welfare. Please come dressed in a suit, to represent DFID's corporate clients - we will provide a bowler
hat.

11th November is also the day that the EBRD will consider providing a loan for BTC - again we need to pressure Benn not to give the go-ahead a second time.

If you can't come to London on that day, please join our action by sending a fax or email to Hilary Benn. We will email a suggested text to you on Friday.

PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME TO THE DEMONSTRATION, or if you would like to participate in the fax action.

Many thanks for your support.
