HealthJustice’s Statement to SEATCA’s open Letter to Dr. Gary Johns and ITIC
May 24, 2016HEALTH ADVOCATES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CELEBRATE WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY, AFFIRM SUPPORT FOR THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF GRAPHIC HEALTH WARNINGS LAW
May 31, 2016
The Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) received a letter from Dr. Gary Johns, on behalf of his client the International Tax and Investment Center (ITIC) on April 21, 2016. The letter is riddled with false accusations against SEATCA, mischaracterizations of fact and law, disparaging comments about the World Health Organization (WHO) and the FCTC Convention Secretariat (FCS) and the Parties to the FCTC. This is considered to be another attempt of the tobacco industry to intimidate and discredit an advocacy organization.
