Thirty years ago, nine environmental activists from the Niger Delta were executed. They have since been honored but the protest against oil pollution continues.

France’s ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy granted conditional release after 20 days in jail
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday returned home after spending 20 days in prison. Sarkozy was granted conditional release pending his appeals trial, less than three weeks after being handed a five-year prison sentence for conspiring to raise campaign funds from ex-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday was freed from prison, a 20-day experience the former president called a “nightmare”, as a judge ordered his release pending an appeal decision over Libyan funding.
Sarkozy was freed from La Sante prison in Paris shortly before 3 pm (1400 GMT) on Monday, a source familiar with the case told AFP.
The 70-year-old former president, who maintains his innocence, departed in a car with tinted windows, escorted by police motorcyclists.
