A federal jury in San Francisco has cleared oil giant Chevron of any responsibility for the May 1998 shooting and killing of protesters in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Survivors of the 1998 shooting have argued that Chevron should be held accountable, because it paid the Nigerian military and transported them by helicopter to the oil platform. A group of nineteen Nigerian plaintiffs brought the landmark case against Chevron using the Alien Tort Claims Act, which allows foreign nationals to sue in the US over international human rights violations. We’ll have more on the court ruling later in the show.
