@amnesty's new report on @Shell and the impact of its operations in Nigeria is finally out. I am proud I was part of the team who made this work happen @MarkDummett @Marsha81974843 @CEHRD
amnesty.org/en/documents/a…
@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.

My latest piece on the case #Kiobel vs #Shell is available online today and in print tomorrow at @M_Star_Online @AudreyGaughran @seemabhr @MarkDummett @meghnaabraham @Makmid @andy_rowell @saltaluca73 @atricarico72 @BorromeoBea morningstaronline.co.uk/article/f/kiob…
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
