Don't sign contracts with G4S

The Issue

 

We, Sheffield residents, call on the City Council to adopt a policy of not commissioning goods or services from this company which:

- is complicit in breaking International Law and is guilty of grave misconduct concerning imprisoned Palestinians including children

- is notorious for the Olympic fiasco, the tagging fraud, and involvement in the killing of the deportee Jimmy Mubenga

- failed to pay any corporation tax in 2013
 
- operates "Workfare" - the forced labour scheme for the unemployed
 
- profits from sub standard asylum housing and forcible evictions
 
- provides security in Israeli jails where Palestinian children are illegally detained and abused.

We would support Sheffield City Council's efforts to carry out this policy.
