It remembers the death by hanging on 10 Nov. 1995 of Ken and eight other Ogonis as an outcome of environmental protest against Shell and the Nigerian military ruler, Sani Abacha.

The keynote speaker, Dr. Mark Garavan, will discuss the politics of moral force in the life and work of Michael Davitt and Ken Saro-Wiwa.

Steve Mills, International Director of the Sierra Club USA , will lead the Solidarity Forum ( www.sierraclub.org). This is the oldest ( 1892) and largest ( 750,000 members), most influential grassroots environmental organization in the US. It was a strong supporter of the Ogoni issue with Shell.

Other speakers will include Maura Harrington ( Shell to Sea ), Majella Mc Carron ( Ogoni Solidarity Ireland ) and Philip Ikurusi ( Niger Delta Awareness ).

Joe Murray ( Afri) will coordinate the Solidarity Forum; Afri is a supporter of the Seminar which is non-funded and volunteer - led by a local committee of eight.

Some time will consider the relevance of the UN Aarhus Convention to participation by local communities in environmental matters and who will be represented on the Forum.
