Trial over Shell Allegations in Niger Delta Delayed
---------------------------------------------------



Back in the United States, a landmark trial against oil giant Royal
Dutch Shell’s alleged involvement in human rights violations in the
Niger Delta has been delayed until next week. Shell is accused of
several abuses, including complicity in the torture and execution of
Nigerian writer and environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other
activists.
