Alleged negative impacts on human rights <strong>of</strong> affected communities <strong>of</strong> a proposed Bangladesh domestic policy permitting <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> an open-pit coal mine in <strong>the</strong> township <strong>of</strong> Phulbari. Concerns transmitted to GCM Resources plc, which through its subsidiary Asia Energy Corporation (Bangladesh) Pty Ltd works under a contract with <strong>the</strong> Government <strong>of</strong> Bangladesh on <strong>the</strong> Phulbari Coal Mine project. According to information received, <strong>the</strong> open-pit coal mine in Phulbari, if constructed, would have a significant impact on food production and access by destroying approximately 12,000 acres <strong>of</strong> productive agricultural land, and on water access by lowering <strong>the</strong> water table 12 to 25 metres and potentially poisoning water sources. The proposed mine would allegedly displace up to 220,000 people over time, 50,000 <strong>of</strong> whom are indigenous peoples belonging to <strong>23</strong> different tribal groups. Current plans reportedly do not provide adequate compensation or resettlement, and have not included consultations with affected communities. Finally, allegations have been raised concerning continued efforts to stop human rights defenders from protesting <strong>the</strong> Phulbari coal mine and <strong>the</strong> resulting infringements on <strong>the</strong>ir rights to freedom <strong>of</strong> expression and peaceful assembly. 30/11/2012 07/12/2012 31/01/2013 A/<strong>HRC</strong>/<strong>23</strong>/<strong>51</strong>
