Twenty Ministry of Defence police stormed the ship and smashed their way onto the bridge of the Arctic Sunrise shortly after 5pm following the day-long stand-off. The police cut the anchor chain and towed the ship into the nuclear base. All onboard have been arrested for being in a restricted area.

Listen to the podcast update from our campaigners onboard about when happened during the boarding.

Bass player and backing vox in the four piece beat combo that is the UK Greenpeace Web Experience. In my 6 years here I've worked on almost every campaign and been fascinated by them all to varying degrees. Just now I'm working on Peace and Oceans - which means getting rid of our Trident nuclear weapons system and creating large marine reserves so that marine life can get some protection from overfishing.
