Ka Hsaw Wa, Executive Director of EarthRights International, writes in an April 24th article in the Huffington Post about the open letter he and other former Goldman Environmental Prize winners issued this week in support of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Wiwa v. Shell case, as well as the significance of the upcoming trial for indigenous people and affected communities worldwide. Click here to read the article.
On November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa, an acclaimed writer and leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), was hanged along with eight other Ogoni leaders, after a trial before a military tribunal that was condemned around the world as a sham. Ken Saro-Wiwa's last words were: "Lord take my soul but the struggle continues."
