That they would do it again is extraordinary. These remarkable souls were born with the right stuff. They should be honored for saving the Arctic for the world, not imprisoned. Ever in mind,
In a world where the corporation is this powerful, independent organisations like Greenpeace are essential to restore some balance. And boy is there an awful lot of balance to be restored.
I wish them Protection and Good Luck! Words can hardly express my gratitude for their work. Amazing people! Thank You. (Will continue with the monthly donations and anything else I can do.)
The homophobic Olympics you mean? Put pressure on the sponsors! Coca Cola etc. We need to get down on them like bricks for two reasons now! No, three! To release the 2 Pussy Riot women as well, Nadeska is missing at the moment being transported to Siberia for protesting and hungerstriking against terrible conditions in prisons.
They ARE peaceful activists standing up against ongoing ecocide in pristine areas on this Earth! They have done nothing wrong, we have the right to express our opinions when big industries are threatening ecosystems worldwide!
A boycott of the Olympic games never works. Russia will win more gold medals and that will only be used by Poetin do show the Russian people how good he is for Russia. News in Russia is manipulated (not only in Russia). And most important: if a government is deciding to boycott the games, there are no better then the Russian Government, then they use the athletes for politics. The only message that understood everywhere in the world: money. If you want to do something around Olympic Games, you need to boycott sponsors. (i am not convinced it will directly help) Just buy Pepsi for a week/month, so Coca Cola will see their sales drop dramatically.
I actually have respect for these people. They stood up for what they believed in, fought for a good cause, they were brave enough to do what they did knowing the danger, and they did not hurt anybody or commit a big crime. When I watch this video, I think about the people who fought for equality for the African Americans during the 1950's.
Morals are all very well, however the morals of a person in this case provide the moral of the story. You do the crime, you do the time. Sad but a fact of life.
Soo touching, I wish I could contribute to freeing them... I hate the fact that majority of people are so ignorant. Asked 5 of my friends if they knew about all of this, they didn't.
The pro Russian trolls commenting a few days ago have made me even more determined to continue spreading the word to free the Arctic 30 and save the Arctic! Well done trolls :D
:-)))) Organisations as Greenpeace need publicity, not just for funding, but publicity will make more people aware of bad situations. (i don't believe Greenpeace makes the changes, but the public opinion, which is feed by the publicity around the actions of Greenpeace, is making the real changes) I do hope and expect a soon release of the Artic30. Personally i expect surprising and positive developments on the day(s) before the 22nd of November. And in a strange way we should be thankful to the Russian Government by their stupid actions, it will make Greenpeace stronger in every way.
#Aquariel Charm Attacking the oil rig of Russia is indeed an extraordinary act from Greenpeace, since they knew very well that Greenpeace captain Kuiken had been sentenced in 1993 by Norway for a similar action, entering the 500 meter safety zone, endangering the safety of the oil rig workers. Saving the Arc, everybody wants. Greenpeace tried to achieve this goal by illegal means, climbing on the rig, with the purpose of occupying the rig as long as possible, rammimg the coast guard dingies, neglecting the orders of the coast guard, trying to prevent the coast guard from boarding the arctic Sunrise.
Say "thank you" to a God your aren't in Vorkuta, where only corridor are heated at -50 degree by the celsius at december. After 15 yeras your will forget about your tooth and lungs.
It is horrible to hear and read the story of those imprisoned Greenpeace activists, after only 2 months jail, and knowing their future is probably at least 5 to 20 years workcamp.prison in Siberia. Pussy Riot got 2 years workcamp for only singing. The letter that Greenpeace designed to bring the activists home is extremely arrogant and teaching the Russians. That letter will certainly not bring the activists home sooner. On the contrary.
Sorry, but the action of Pussy Riot is not just singing!! But their punishment is to much/hard for the crime they committed. I disagree with your opinion about Greenpeace's letter, but the letter is not 100% correct, it contains some errors and should be updated.
Robert Erkelens The letter is arrogant, Greenpeace assumes too much authority for themselves. The letter dictates Russia instead of asking. It reads that the Russians broke sealaw in international waters, while in fact Greenpeace broke the law by entering the safety zone of 500 meters around the platform in the Russian economic zone. The letter only mentions hooliganism, and "forgets" piracy. The letter says that the indictment hooliganism is an exaggeration. GP better starts with first excusing. Don't misunderstand me. In my heart I am a Greenpeacer, but I do not like agression, or feeling superior to Russians. That is an Ubermensch attitude, which was basis for Unternehmen Barbarossa.
vrederik7 Actualy they forget to mention piracy once, but some futher it is mentioned. Hooliganism is mentioned twice and piracy is mentioned once. That is one of the errors i was referring to in my previous comment. The other: Moermansk is stil mentioned as the location of inprissonment, while the crew is in St Peterburg for 5 days. The rest of your comment shows, you do not know the actual facts and the laws. 1) 6-8 crew members entered the safety zone of 500 meters our the platform, not the rest of the crew 2) economic zones are international water = international maritime laws 3) only piracy could be a reason to capture and arrest in international waters, but the Russian State will be unable to proof piracy, all lawyers on international maritime laws in the world agree on that, therefor the arrest is illegal 4) the Russian government did NOT have permission from the Dutch government to board, to capture and to tow the ship.
***** You will never experience putting your life in danger so people like you can play. Thank a veteran but I am sure you have something against that.
Greenpeace - инструмент политического давления. Почему идет давление на Российские компании? Почему когда дело касается РФ и Арктики, Greenpeace тут же начинает компанию по анти пиару? Когда то Greenpeace была независимой организацией, которая защищала природу. Позор.
""That they would do it again is extraordinary. These remarkable souls were born with the right stuff."" That is exactly why the Russian should keep them in Jail.. realeasing them would be a waste of time -- since they will just end up in jail again

Adult kids found out that there is responsibility for their actions. But they never learn
I wish them Protection and Good Luck! Words can hardly express my gratitude for their work. Amazing people! Thank You. (Will continue with the monthly donations and anything else I can do.)
good work it maked me cry keep up the good work i have Faith in those people that they will be free
WE ARE WITH YOU ARCTIC 30, I POST YOUR VIDEOS, I CAMPAIGN FOR YOU I PRAY FOR YOU...YOU HAVE ALL OUR BLESSINGS EVERYDAY!!! WE ARE WITH YOU!
If the governments of the imprisoned activists do nothing, then it is time to agitate for the Russian winter Olympic games to be boycotted.
Correctly said !!
The homophobic Olympics you mean? Put pressure on the sponsors! Coca Cola etc. We need to get down on them like bricks for two reasons now! No, three!

Blessing and stay strong guys
Sharing, Justice and Peace for all will help Save Our Planet.
My heart goes to these brave souls. True warriors in a world in need of warriors. I salute you all.
And why is standing up to oil drilling a crime?
The only crime here is that the big boys are stealing behind a wall of secrecy, that which belongs to us all !!
Don't want to spend 15 years in prison? Don't break the law. Simple as that.
ass
I wish to be there giving them some support!... they are heroes and peolple wants to be like heroes.
Who sponsored and ordered these hooligans to create all this drama? Chevron? Shell? Wall Street?
get me crying x

Gold star for you.
Love you all!!
I don't get why they would arrest these people when they were just trying to protect the Arctic.
Morals are all very well, however the morals of a person in this case provide the moral of the story.
You do the crime, you do the time.
Sad but a fact of life.
Soo touching, I wish I could contribute to freeing them... I hate the fact that majority of people are so ignorant. Asked 5 of my friends if they knew about all of this, they didn't.
while i respect their courage my reaction to this is... what did they expect? they tried to board the ship without authorization.
The pro Russian trolls commenting a few days ago have made me even more determined to continue spreading the word to free the Arctic 30 and save the Arctic! Well done trolls :D
Top answer...well done !!

There are ways to replace oil , i bases a generator on Einstein theory of relativity it makes its on fuel. It is easy to build and its cheap
Sort it out Cameron. It's accepted that Putin's just a gangster...where is the 'tough line on tyranny' now?
Cameron will wait for someone else to step forward, maybe the voters will ??
Which leader is not a gangster?
Bravo good work but the wicked world dont care, agitation should include Palestinian cause too, not forgetting the Turkish flotilla killings.

The rest of your comment shows, you do not know the actual facts and the laws.
1) 6-8 crew members entered the safety zone of 500 meters our the platform, not the rest of the crew
2) economic zones are international water = international maritime laws
3) only piracy could be a reason to capture and arrest in international waters, but the Russian State will be unable to proof piracy, all lawyers on international maritime laws in the world agree on that, therefor the arrest is illegal
4) the Russian government did NOT have permission from the Dutch government to board, to capture and to tow the ship.
time this w2as sorted where is the UN
The UN is a kgb+, whore on one wants any more
Russia, give us back our ship!!!
Libertem os 30.
lol, joke. You fools forgot who you were messing with. You are so lucky that this is not the Soviet Union.
Twat!!!!!
***** You will never experience putting your life in danger so people like you can play. Thank a veteran but I am sure you have something against that.
And why is it not the soviet union? Because we have people like GreenPeace who stand up for our rights and put the government to shame.

I disagree with this. Russians fight and you find it "surreal". First learn your English and then come talk to me!
