Bankrupt Shell

Delta has been established as an information exchange for people concerned about Shell’s activities in Nigeria and particularly the plight of the Ogoni people. For a copy of their newsletter contact DELTA, East Oxford Community Centre, Princes St, Oxford, OX4 1DD. 01865 791391. Meanwhile, Shell have admitted to buying guns for the Nigerian police. These are believed to have supplied the ‘Kill and Go Squad’ which killed 15 protesters in 1990. It has also emerged that 55,000 people are in jail awaiting trial in Nigeria. Some have been waiting more than a decade. Shell’s money supports the Nigerian government - It’s time to bankrupt 'em.
