Anniversary of Nigerian executions marked in Dublin
Thirteen years ago today, on November 10th 1995, nine men from Ogoni land were hanged at Port Harcourt prison Nigeria. They had been tried in a military court by the Nigerian dictatorship. One of the men, the famous human rights campaigner Ken Saro Wiwa had been a particular thorn in the side of the Shell oil company, which found itself unable to operate in parts of the Niger Delta because of the work organisating people to peacefully resist against their destructive activities.

Yesterday, as a mark of recognition of the profound contribution to world society made by Ken Saro Wiwa and others who resist the dominance of the big corporations, activists in Dublin changed the street signs on Adelaide Road to read Ken Saro Wiwa Street.
