Greenpeace i siktet

[Amatør1]

Greenpeace har mye penger. De har for eksempel råd til å kjøpe egne isbrytere (hva skal de egentlig med det, kan man spørre? Isen forsvinner jo i aksellererende fart ifølge dem selv).

Dette er havets nye sjørøvere, ifølge russiske myndigheter. De har nettopp arrestert en av isbryterne til Greenpeace og tauer det nå inn til Murmansk. Anklagen er at Greenpeace har angrepet en av det statlige oljeselskapet Gazprom sine rigger.

Reaksjonen kom fra russiske myndigheter dagen etter: Greenpeace-båten ble overtatt av myndighetene og aktivistene arrestert.

Russia to Investigate Seized Greenpeace Ship for Piracy

MOSCOW, September 20 (Alexey Eremenko, RIA Novosti) – Russian authorities said Friday that a seized Greenpeace icebreaker was being towed from the Arctic Pechora Sea to the port of Murmansk, where it will be investigated for "piracy" over its alleged attack on a Gazprom oil rig.

The Arctic Sunrise icebreaker "is being towed because the captain refused to steer it," a spokeswoman for the Murmansk Region branch of the border guard service told RIA Novosti. The ship is expected to arrive in Murmansk by Monday or Tuesday, she said.

The trip to Murmansk is required because border guard ships in the Pechora Sea have no investigators qualified to give a legal assessment of Greenpeace's actions, the spokeswoman said.

Two activists who had traveled to the Gazprom oil rig aboard the Arctic Sunrise were detained by border guards on Wednesday for trying to climb up the facility. A day later, border guards stormed the ship and took control of it, Greenpeace said, adding that the seizure was done at gunpoint.

Kanskje de trenger isbrytere for å bryte opp isen i Arktis?
2013 ble et utidig år for dem når det gjelder utbredelse av is.
