@amnesty @Shell @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD This report provides essential information and analysis of various cases that Shell is facing in European courts and concludes that the Anglo-Dutch corporation has operated in a way that has harmed communities and has not effectively remediated the harm it has caused.

@amnesty @Shell @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD one of these cases relates to Shell's support for a military crackdown against protesters in Ogoniland during the 1990s. This case was brought by Esther #Kiobel, in her quest for justice again the execution of her husband @Esther96525257

@amnesty @Shell @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD @Esther96525257 another case relates to the impact of pollution and Shell’s failure to clean up. In 2020 the UK’s Supreme Court will hear an appeal brought by two communities, Ogale and
Bille, and decide whether Royal Shell is liable for the actions of its Nigerian subsidiary.

@amnesty @Shell @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD @Esther96525257 and there is Bodo, a small community that brought Shell to court because of two massive oil spills. While Shell paid $70 million for losses caused by the spills and undertook to clean up Bodo’s waterways, effective pollution clean up is still to take place bit.ly/2OFxILe

@amnesty @Shell @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD @Esther96525257 These are civil cases in which Nigerian individuals or communities are seeking redress from Shell, for
the impact that the company's operations have had, and continue to have, on their human rights.
