With @realkiobel inside the courtroom at The Hague now: #Kiobel and @Shell's lawyers are getting ready to speak. Follow @MarkDummett & @sabrinatucci for live updates today and tomorrow 9 October amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett The court is about to hear, for the first time, accounts from individuals who accuse @Shell of offering them bribes to give fake testimonies that led to the ‘Ogoni Nine’ – who included Esther Kiobel’s husband – being sentenced to death and executed.
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett In 1995, the Nigerian state executed nine men. Officially accused of involvement in murder, the men had been put on trial because they had challenged the devastating impact of oil production by @Shell in Ogoniland, Niger Delta. Dr #Kiobel and Ken Saro Wiwa were among them
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett The executions were the culmination of a brutal campaign by Nigeria’s military to silence the protests of MOSOP, led by author and rights activist Saro-Wiwa. Today, the people of Ogoniland continue to struggle for justice for the environmental damage that oil pollution has caused
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett @realkiobel is the widow of Dr. Kiobel, one of the Ogoni 9. She first filed a case against Shell in New York in 2002, but in 2013 the US Supreme Court ruled that the US did not have jurisdiction. She then filed a writ in the Netherlands in 2017 together with three other women.
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett Esther #Kiobel, Victoria Bera, Blessing Eawo and Charity Levula accuse @Shell of being complicit in the unlawful arrest, detention and execution of their husbands in 1995. The case is a unique opportunity to bring justice to these women bit.ly/2APU0CH
@realkiobel @Shell @MarkDummett @Shell has been accused of instigating a raft of horrifying human rights violations committed by the Nigerian government against the Ogoni people. @amnesty has documented Shell’s role in these violations carried out to crush the MOSOP protests amnesty.org/download/Docum…

Tomorrow a Dutch court will examine the merits of a landmark case brought by @realkiobel and three other women with regard to what they claim was Shell’s involvement in the unlawful arrest, torture and execution of their husbands by the Nigerian military @channasamkalden @tmdboer
Esther’s late husband, Dr Barinem Kiobel, was hanged in 1995 by the Nigerian government along with the writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and other seven men, collectively known as the Ogoni Nine.

1/ @FriendsOfNablus @AmosTrust @abcd_bethlehem @christian_aid, @Caabu @eappiukirelan @LPHR_Lawyers @MedicalAidPal @BritishQuakers @SabeelKairos @WarOnWant @WelfareAssociation are calling on the UK govt to outline how it will oppose the Israeli de jure annexation of the West Bank
2/ This means that the UK must state, clearly and publicly, the consequences that will result if Israel proceeds with its illegal annexation plans.
3/ Annexation – the acquisition of territory by force – is forbidden by the UN Charter. Yet the Israeli government is soon to begin the de jure annexation of parts of the West Bank – formalising its existing de facto annexation of illegally occupied areas.

I say #NoToAnnexation of settlements in Palestine because as a former Ecumenical Accompanier with @EAPPI I’ve witnessed the devastating impact of military occupation in Palestine that will be made permanent through annexation. Settlements are illegal and should not be normalized. ImageImageImageImage
I say NO to the Israeli government’s plans to annex large parts of occupied Palestine because it violates international law and would make permanent 53 years of occupation that has perpetuated devastating human rights violations like the ones I witnessed in Hebron.
I witnessed children having to navigate their way to school through checkpoints/past heavily armed soldiers/past settlements and settlement outpost, facing the daily uncertainty of not knowing whether they will arrive without problems like harassment, physical violence or arrest

1/ Happening now: the UK Supreme Court is hearing the case of the Ogale and Bille Communities in the Niger Delta against @Shell. The communities argue that they have been severely affected by years of oil spills from #Shell's pipelines bit.ly/2Cy3Q0m @dleader3
2/ #Shell’s operations have devasted the environment of the Niger Delta and the life of its citizens. The effects of its operations have been widely documented, including by UNEP in 2011, which recommended an urgent clean-up, and by @amnesty. @leighdayintl bit.ly/3hRPt7a
3/ New research by @amnesty has exposed a failure to deliver a long-touted plan to systematically clean up contaminated land and waterways in the Ogoni region. amnesty.org/en/documents/a… @AudreyGaughran @AstervanKregten @livingtruely @MarkDummett @Makmid
