Lesotho: Polihali Dam construction puts nearly 8,000 people at risk of displacement

Nearly 8,000 people are facing the loss of their homes or livelihoods as construction begins around a new dam in Lesotho, Amnesty International said today. The organization is calling on authorities to halt construction of the Polihali Dam, which will supply water to South Africa, until affected communities, in Mokhotlong district, have been properly consulted and compensated.
