One week ahead of Shell’s trial for human rights abuses, including the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa, ShellGuilty turned up the heat on the company at their AGM.

Spectacular fire juggling brought Shell’s gas flaring in the Niger Delta to the attention of shareholders as they entered the Barbican where the UK AGM was held.

The protest marks the start of an International Week of Action against Shell’s abuses, bringing together activists from across the globe.

The campaign’s chief demand is an end to gas flaring in the Niger Delta. The practice poisons communities, emits huge amounts of greenhouse gases, and wastes approximately $2.5 billion of natural gas annually. Check out the video, as well as photos, below.
