Statement from the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), 3 June 2023 (BDS: Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions)
We did it!
In a major win for human rights activismagainst corporate complicity, the world’s largest private security company Allied Universal, which owns G4S, has decided to sell all its remaining business in apartheid Israel.
This victory was made possible by the tireless work of our amazing partners and you, our supporters. Grassroots power built the #StopG4S campaign from the ground up and persisted in pressuring G4S to divest from its stake in Policity, the Israeli police academy,due to documented war crimes and human rights violations by Israeli police.
Allied Universal, which acquired G4S in 2021, is now selling that stake to G1, an Israeli company known for complicity in human rights abuses (pending Israeli authorities’ approval).
The final straw compelling Allied Universal to end its complicity in apartheid Israel’s human rights abuses against Indigenous Palestinians came from the Quebec Pension Plan’s management fund, CDPQ, the largest shareholder in Allied Universal. CDPQ has acknowledged the documented cases of Israeli torture against Palestinians and disapproved of such activities.
