Some folks got together today in Aberdeen
to stand with the Ogoni people in remembering
Ken Saro-Wiwa and his eight Ogoni colleagues
who were executed by the Nigerian state for
campaigning against the devastation of the
Niger Delta by oil companies, especially
$hell and Chevron.

$hell was in court today, Aberdeen Sheriff Court
in perhaps the most important fatal accident
inquiry for the industry since the Piper Alpha disaster.
They have admitted that their failures
led to the deaths of two workers on one of
its platforms.
First people stood outside the court

From there out to the $hell offices in tullos
where a quiet vigil with lanterns and poetry
was held .
Office workers leaving were offered a leaflet and most
friendly accepted

Lastly on to the $hell offices on Anderson drivewhere a long banner was placed in time for some rush hour traffic, drawing the link between the Ogoni people and the Irish people
