    May 4, 2021 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General of the United States U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20530 Via email: [email protected] Dear Attorney General Garland, We Nobel Prize laureates representing all disciplines are writing you now in support of the April 27 letter from Members of Congress requesting that you immediately order a high-level Department of Justice review of an unorthodox case involving human rights lawyer Steven Donziger and that the Department reassert main jurisdiction over the case and conduct a review of the baseless charges against him. Donziger has now been under pre-trial house arrest in Manhattan for over 600 days and counting while awaiting trial on a petty misdemeanor charge resulting from a discovery dispute in the case of the United States v. Donziger, U.S. District Court S.D.N.Y Case No. 19 Cr. 561 (LAP); 11 Civ. 691 (LAK). The current date of his contempt of court trial, which has changed several times over the 600+ days of his house arrest, is May 10 in the Southern District of New York. In November of 2020, 55 Nobel Laureates released a public statement in support of Steven Donziger and at that time called for his release from house arrest, dismissal of the charges against him, the cessation of judicial harassment of him and assurances that any further legal actions against him be assigned to a neutral and unbiased judge. We believed then, as we do now, that as the letter to you from Members of Congress says the harassment of Donziger “involves a shameful
