From Andres Musta's caption to this image which he posted on his Flickr yesterday: "So much suffering in the world. So many people caught up in supporting one faction or another.
Some courageous souls win victories through nonviolence. When do they get their recognition?
Ken Saro-Wiwa was one such soul. (more details with linked photo below)

No disrespect to fighting soldiers past & present - we are here today because of their efforts, no doubt.
But on this most solemn day, I'm also remembering students who stood unarmed before tanks, persecuted journalists around the world, and soldiers who refuse to fight for oil companies, at whatever personal cost.
PEACE"
That's just part of the caption and just part of the story.
