Oil Change International
C: Milieudefensie
It is now twenty six years since the Nigerian activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni were murdered by the Nigerian military for their campaign against the oil giant Shell.
Ken and other others had campaigned against Shell’s endemic pollution of Ogoni and the company’s environmental racism and double standards of operations. They campaigned for clean air and water and self-determination. They paid the ultimate price.
In his powerful, defiant closing speech to the sham military Tribunal just before he was hung, Ken said: “I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief. The Company has, indeed, ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come…The crime of the Company’s dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.”
