NEW YORK, NEW YORK KANGAROO COURT OR JUSTICE?

Supporters of Attorney Steven Donziger hold a small rally for his court appearance at Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse in Manhattan on May 10, 2021 in New York City. Donziger is looking to have six criminal contempt charges fi led against him dismissed. The charges stem from his court battles against the Chevron Corp and their participation in the polluting of the Ecuadorian rainforest. Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska has stated that Donziger has not proved that the case against him should be dismissed on the basis that the prosecution violated his constitutional due process, but that he has only provided conjecture and supposition without evidence to support his claims.

Los partidarios del abogado Steven Donziger celebran una pequeña manifestación para su comparecencia en el tribunal Daniel Patrick Moynihan de los Estados Unidos en Manhattan el 10 de mayo de 2021 en la ciudad de Nueva York. Donziger busca que se desestimen seis cargos de desacato penal presentados contra él. Los cargos se derivan de sus batallas judiciales contra Chevron Corp y su participación en la contaminación de la selva ecuatoriana. La jueza superior de distrito Loretta Preska ha declarado que Donziger no ha demostrado que el caso contra él deba ser desestimado sobre la base de que la acusación violó su debido proceso constitucional, sino que sólo ha aportado conjeturas y suposiciones sin pruebas que respalden sus afi rmaciones.
