Update May 28, 2010:
Did anyone hear the president ask people to volunteer to help cleanup … ?
-
Mr. President, if you did say that, you should resign from office, because it would so clearly show how detached you are from this catastrophe.
-
#1 BP and all those people who allow the continued drilling of oil (knowing that oil spills continue to pollute our environment and harm living things) ... these people are responsible for making the people affected and the environment made whole. [We know, of course, the environment will never be made whole]
-
#2 Those folks who have lost their livelihood and jobs need jobs and should be compensated by BP.
-
#3 People who do clean-up work have to receive training because of health hazards, etc.
-
#4 Who knows what the long term effects of exposure to poisonous/toxic fumes, etc. will be.

The Case Against Shell: Landmark Human Rights Trial

-
--

-
The multinational corporation Shell, 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. Shell was also involved in a strategy that resulted in the executions of nine Ogoni leaders who were working for environmental justice and human rights, including internationally-acclaimed writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa.

The Center for Constitutional Rights, EarthRights International and other human rights attorneys sued Shell for their role in the repression of the Ogoni and the executions of the “Ogoni Nine”.

The case will go to trial on May 26th, 2009 in New York City.

The film was produced by Rikshaw Films for EarthRights International and the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Special thanks to filmmaker Glenn Ellis, for extensive footage from two important documentaries made by Catma Films, The Drilling Fields (1994) & Delta Force (1995), and to photographer Ed Kashi, for use of his photographs.

Shell must be held accountable. As Ken Saro-Wiwa's son, Ken Saro-Wiwa Jr. has said about the upcoming trial against Shell, "We need to have people account for their role in the executions and the displacement of the Ogoni people, many of whom feel traumatized. It will be a relief. It will enable people to face the future. That's the most important thing. Let's account for the past, so we can move forward."
