Action in Vienna against Shell and Nigeria’s Executions

Greenpeace protests at the Shell-headquarters and the Nigerian embassy in Vienna against the execution of environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwas and 8 more Ogoni-activists. Greenpeace asks Shell in a document to strongly condemn the executions and to pay compensation for the environmental damage that the company has caused in Nigeria. Greenpeace strongly condemns the executions and calls for global protests against the military dictatorship of Nigeria and against Shell. Ken Saro-Wiwa was condemned because of his resistance to the environmental damage caused by Shell’s oil drilling.
