"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"
