"FOURTEEN years after Nigerian campaigner Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by Nigeria's former military regime, the oil giant Royal Dutch Shell will appear before a court in New York to answer charges of crimes against humanity in connection with his death.
The trial, scheduled to begin next week, will examine allegations that Shell sought the aid of the former Nigerian regime in silencing Mr Saro-Wiwa, a vociferous critic, in addition to paying soldiers who carried out human rights abuses in the Niger Delta where it operated."
