Nigeria Impounds Saro-wiwa Memorial Art Bus by klassd(m): 10:17pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
The Nigerian government impounded a bus created as an artistic memorial to commemorate the 20th anniversary since the hanging of environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa. Tuesday marks 20 years since the execution of Saro- Wiwa and eight other Nigerian human rights activists by Nigeria's then-military government. They had led protests against environmental damage in the oil-rich Niger Delta region caused by oil giant Shell. They were hanged, despite an international outcry, for their alleged involvement in the murder of four Ogoni tribal leaders. www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/nigeria-impounds-saro-wiwa-memorial-art-bus-151110071842402.html |
