尼日利亚的一个法院命令联合王国向1949年在伊瓦峡谷矿山抗议中遇害的21名煤矿工人的家属支付4.2亿英镑的赔偿,并裁定英国殖民政府以恶劣条件和种族薪酬差异为由在非暴力罢工中非法枪杀他们。 A Nigerian court has ordered the UK to pay £420 million in compensation to families of 21 coal miners killed in a 1949 protest at the Iva Valley Mine, ruling the British colonial government unlawfully shot them during a non-violent strike over poor conditions and racial pay disparities. Enugu高等法院认定这些杀人事件是法外处决,拒绝主权豁免,并指责尼日利亚联邦政府没有寻求补救。 The Enugu High Court found the killings were extrajudicial, rejected sovereign immunity, and blamed Nigeria’s federal government for failing to seek redress. 判决要求每个家庭2 000万英镑、正式道歉和外交行动,这是殖民后赔偿要求的一大步骤。 The judgment demands £20 million per family, a formal apology, and diplomatic action, marking a major step in postcolonial reparations claims.
