Andrew Jonathan Hall (born 30 October 1979 in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England) is a migrant worker and labour rights activist and researcher, formerly based in South East Asia.
In early 2013 Hall was sued by Natural Fruit Company following the publication of the Finnwatch report "Cheap Has a High Price".
Many international human rights organisations and trade unions, as well as UN agencies and the European Parliament and European Trade Commissioner, have condemned Natural Fruit's actions as judicial harassment and an attempt to silence a human rights defender, and called for the cases to be dropped.
On 31 May 2018, the Appeals Court rules in favour of Mr Hall on the charge of criminal defamation and computer crimes (Finnwatch report case).
[5] The president of Natural Fruit, Wirat Piyapornpaiboon, commented on the ruling outside the Court house to international media, saying, "No foreigner should think they have power above Thai sovereignty,..."[6] On 26 March 2018, the Prakanong Court in Bangkok issued its verdict on the civil damages claim against Hall, ordering him to pay 10 million baht (US$320,000) in damages to the company.
