What the case is about
The trial of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists for the murder of four Ogoni chiefs, before a tribunal appointed by the regime with no right of appeal.
Ruling & compliance
All nine were convicted and executed on 10 November 1995. International observers, including a British government envoy, called the proceedings a travesty; the case is a standard reference point for judicial abuse under military rule.
