The nonprofit EarthRights International has filed a lawsuit against Chiquita Brands International on behalf of more than 200 Colombians, alleging the plaintiffs experienced violence at the hands of paramilitary agents funded by the banana company.

The demand for a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleges that Chiquita engaged in a “campaign of terror” in order to maintain control of a Colombian banana-growing region from at least 1992 through 2004.
