'Arctic 30' in Murmansk

The 'Arctic 30' (twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance photographer and a freelance videographer) face charges of piracy in Russia for a peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling in the Pechora Sea carried out on 18th September. Greenpeace International insists that piracy charges are unjustified, and that Russian authorities boarded the Arctic Sunrise illegally in international waters. Several international legal experts have supported that view.
