Ben & Jerry's boss 'ousted over political activism'.

Ice cream maker alleges the move is part of efforts by its parent company to silence its activism.

It comes a month after the ice cream company accused Unilever of demanding that it stops publicly criticising US President Donald Trump.

The allegation was part of a legal case filed in a US court by Ben & Jerry's that says Unilever violated a merger agreement by trying to silence its "social mission".

Ben & Jerry's has said its chief executive, David Stever, was being removed by its parent company, Unilever, in a growing dispute over the ice cream company's political activism.

Ben & Jerry's has long been known for taking a public stance on social issues since it was founded in 1978 by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield.

Last month, in another court filing, Ben & Jerry's said Unilever had tried to ban it from publicly criticising Donald Trump. »
