Chevron Cleared in Human Rights Lawsuit

Audio currently not available for this program.

A San Francisco jury has cleared Chevron of all liability in a human rights lawsuit filed by Nigerian villagers. Ten years ago, the Nigerian military killed two villagers and injured others who were occupying a Chevron oil platform in the Niger Delta. The plaintiffs sued the San Ramon oil company under a statute that allows foreigners to file lawsuits in U.S. courts for alleged violations of international law. Reporter: Tara Siler
