I second the comments re Shell in Erris, Co. Mayo. Shell are shaping up to behave the same way there. They have been in Mayo less than 10 years and so far the damage is minimal compared to the Niger Delta (though no less traumatic for those suffering). Let’s learn from the past. Amnesty, help us nip this one in the bud.

It’s great that so many people are paying attention to Shell’s crimes against humanity and the earth, but that’s all this is good for- awareness raising. Royal Dutch Shell is never going to change its ways, no matter how many people try to hold it accountable.

Amnesty, please don’t ignore what is happening in your own backyard. Shell is continuing their criminal activity here in Co. Mayo, Ireland.. wake up! People are being beaten, having their fishing boats sank and being left for dead. It’s a miracle no one has died yet. Please get involved before that happens. Don’t doubt that Shell is willing to sacrefice life for the sake of profit.

Another blow for the “little person”! Great work and please keep up the pressure on them. Otherwise, once again, another big organisation will be getting away with murder, metaphorically and possibly literally.

This shows that taking action and putting a little pressure in companies does sometimes result in success. Well Done Amnesty !!

Shell’s doings in Erris, Co Mayo, Ireland, need thorough investigation; we would like to know who was responsible for sinking the boat of Pat O’Donnell, a leading critic of Shell’s planned works in Erris, & of the entire Corrib Gas Project. Shell to Sea!

A great achievement for People Power that shows that even giant multinationals are not immune from the unleashed power of the web!
Time for some shell-shock! Use th power of your pocket-book and fill up elsewhere till Shell come completely clean and clean up their act in the Niger Delta.

It is a start but clearly there is still a long way to go. It is now two weeks later and Shell have still not produced the promised transcript and their answers to the remaining questions. We do need to keep up the pressure

Comhghairdeas! Congratulations!
Thank goodness for Amnesty International and all its supporters. Hopefully this is the beginning of justice for the people of the Niger Delta. We must maintain pressure on Shell.
