Shell On Trial In New York

摘要

A civil trial that will judge any involvement by oil giant Royal Dutch Shell in the executions of protesters in Nigeria will start this month in New York, more than 13 years after their deaths. Shell is accused of human rights abuses, including in connection with the 1995 hangings of prominent activist Ken Saro- Wiwa and eight other protesters by Nigeria's then-military government. Shell has denied allegations of involvement.
