“The five Co Mayo men jailed for obstructing work on the controversial Corrib gas pipeline have reiterated their call on the global oil giant Shell to lift the injunction it has secured against them.”

The five Co Mayo men jailed for obstructing work on the controversial Corrib gas pipeline have reiterated their call on the global oil giant Shell to lift the injunction it has secured against them.
The men were jailed seven weeks ago for refusing to obey the injunction ordering them not to interfere with work on the pipeline that is due to be laid on their land.
In an open letter today, they said they wanted to accept Shell’s offer of talks on the issue and called on the company to lift the injunction so they can leave prison and attend those talks.
Shell has previously refused to do so, saying the men can secure their own release by agreeing to obey the injunction.
However, Mark Garavan, a spokesman for the protestors, said this would never happen.
“The men cannot purge their contempt in the context where that injunction remains in place because to do so would be to bind their hands,” he said.
“It would forbid them from engaging in any protest against Shell in the future in connection with the pipeline and that is simply unrealistic given that that is at the core of the dispute in the first place.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
