to cut a long story short.
Ken-Saro Wiwa (Ken Wiwas brother) was executed by the Nigerian authorities for protesting non-violently against Shell and BP destroying the farmland of the Ogoni people. Shell were in a corrupt relationship with the military authority and knew well in advance that Wiwa was to be executed. Even though they had the power to prevent his execution they did nothing. They were more concerned about their profits that the livihoods of millions and the life of Ken-Saro-Wiwa. This was a time before vacuous CSR reports and all that.
