Summary
Since gaining independence in 1960, Nigeria has had a poor record on human rights. This episode looks at the situation in the midst of 33 years of military rule. From the promised elections that were aborted by the military junta, the execution of a prominent human rights activist, and the actions of the U.S. government and Shell Oil Company, Nigerians have been denied basic human rights. The worldwide response to this situation is examined. Included is a report on the lobbying efforts in the U.S. by American corporations, non-profit organizations, Nigerian nationals, and the American public, due to its position as Nigeria's largest trading partner. Also featured is an excerpt from "Ken Saro-Wiwa: An African Martyr," the final interview with the human rights activist before his execution.
