The private security firm has lost contracts worth millions of dollars and faced divestment by major investors as a result of BDS campaigning.

G4S provides security services and equipment to Israeli checkpoints, illegal settlements and prisons where Palestinian political prisoners are held without trial and subjected to torture.

The international Stop G4S campaign has exposed the role that G4S plays in Israeli human rights violations and cost the company millions of dollars in contracts. The Bill Gates Foundation and the US Methodist Church both divested following BDS pressure.

In June 2014, G4S announced it would end its role in Israel’s prison system, police service and checkpoints by 2017.

However, the campaign against G4S must continue until it entirely ends its role with the Israel Prison Service and all aspect of Israel’s apartheid regime.
