Amnesty wants you to join a chat TODAY with Shell over human rights violation in Niger Delta

Ben from Amnesty sez,


Amnesty recently released a report (PDF) focusing on Shell's human rights violations in the Niger Delta

In response, a few hundred of our activists used Twitter to send a message to @shelldotcom, asking them to schedule a 'Shell Dialogues' (their online chats around particular issues) about Nigeria.

They responded fairly quickly, and scheduled the chat for 2pm UK (9AM Eastern, 6AM Pacific) today (Thursday).

We are asking people to simultaneously join in with Shell's heavily moderated 'chat' on shelldialogues.com and our chat.

We're gathering people's questions to hold Shell to account on the issues highlighted.

Challenge Shell in a live web chat

(Thanks, Ben!)
