Amnesty International’s report JCB Off Track gives evidence that the company’s equipment has been used in the destruction of Palestinian homes, writes Stuart Penny

Boris Johnson’s recent visit to a JCB factory in India inadvertently highlighted the use of JCB vehicles in the destruction of mainly Muslim settlements (Outcry in India as Boris Johnson visits JCB plant amid demolitions row, 21 April).

These are not the only abuses of human rights committed using JCB equipment. Amnesty International’s report JCB Off Track, published in November last year, gives evidence of the use of JCB equipment in the destruction of Palestinian homes, agricultural land and other property in the occupied Palestinian territories. The report explains the steps that Amnesty says the company could take to prevent this.
