Shell public meeting

Shell is a 'neighbour from hell' to many communities and environments across the globe.

Activists and community representatives are coming to the UK for the company's AGM this month to tell their story and lobby Shell to change.

These communities have no real access to justice, and there will be examples from all around the world:

Brazil
Nigeria
Russia
South Africa
The Philippines
USA
