NEW YORK — Ben & Jerry's ratcheted up its censorship lawsuit against Unilever on Friday, accusing its parent company of suppressing a social policy statement the US ice cream maker wanted to release because it mentioned President Donald Trump.
The allegation came in an amended complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, where Ben & Jerry's in November accused Unilever of silencing its at-tempts to express support for Palestinian refugees and end military aid to Israel, and threatening to dismantle its independent board.
