American think-tank tries to intimidate SEATCA
On April 21, SEATCA received a letter from Dr. Gary Johns, on behalf of his client, the International Tax and Investment Center (ITIC) which is based in Washington D.C., which is supported by over 100 corporations including the top four transnational tobacco companies.
The letter is riddled with false accusations against SEATCA, mischaracterizations of fact and law, disparaging comments about the World Health Organization, the Framework Convention Secretariat and the Parties to the FCTC. We have decided to publish an open letter in response.
