An activist from Fossil Free London sits with an oil-like substance on her face during a demonstration outside the offices of the Shell energy company on May 20, 2025 in London, England. Extinction Rebellion activists gathered outside Shell's headquarters in London as the oil giant held its Annual General Meeting at Heathrow Airport, where demonstrations are restricted under a court injunction. The protest comes amid growing criticism of Shell's recent sale of its onshore oil assets in Nigeria to a new entity, Renaissance, a deal partially funded by a $1.5 billion loan from Shell itself. Campaigners accuse the company of attempting to sidestep legal responsibility for decades of oil spills and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta, while still profiting from the region.
