Shell settles Nigeria deaths case

The execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other people sparked a global outcry

Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to pay $15.5m to settle a lawsuit which accused the oil firm of complicity in rights abuses in Nigeria.

The case, due for trial in the US next week, was brought by relatives of a group of anti-Shell activists executed in 1995 by Nigeria's military rulers.

The families say Shell helped the government to punish the campaigners.

But the company insists it did nothing wrong and said the payment was part of a "process of reconciliation".

Shell official Malcolm Brinded said: "This gesture also acknowledges that, even though Shell had no part in the violence that took place, the plaintiffs and others have suffered."........

they say they have NO choice

they do. it's greed. it's pure and simple greed. the almighty dollar. the green back. i've written about chiquita several times before. how they funded BOTH sides and how THEY WERE COMPLICIT in deaths and torture and displacements. what happened to them? a slap on the wrist is all

what will happen to shell (if they are found guilty that is)? hmmmmmmmmmmmm, i wonder

ANYTHING FOR A BUCK

Suit: Shell complicit in execution of Nigerian rights activist
Stephen C. Webster
A landmark human rights lawsuit, accusing Royal Dutch Shell of complicity in the execution of author and human rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa some 14 years ago, will proceed to trial in a New York courtroom.

The Center for Constitutional Rights and Earth Rights International, along with Mr. Wiwa's son, allege the International oil company "financed, armed, and otherwise colluded with the Nigerian military forces that used deadly force and conducted massive, brutal raids against the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta."

They claim Shell was complicit in the 1995 military executions of nine activist leaders, including Ken Saro-Wiwa.
