Greenpeace activists arrested for removing GM crop
On April 3 2000, 28 Greenpeace volunteers will go on trial at Norwich Crown Court charged with criminal damage and theft. The charges relate to a Greenpeace action at Lyng, Norfolk, on 26 July 1999, where part of an experimental crop of genetically modified (GM) maize was cut down and sealed in bags as part of a campaign to prevent genetic contamination.
