"Due to Shell's
oil operations in the Niger Delta (Nigeria) , the Ogani
people have lost their farmlands, fisheries and livelihood.
Following demonstrations against Shell, the Ogoni have been
massacred, tortured and gagged by the Nigerian Military.
Shell's appalling environmental double standards are to
blame for the plight of the Ogoni people and Ken Saro Wiwa's
death sentence today"
