Protest over Cairn Energy’s drilling threat in World Heritage Site
Edinburgh - Today Greenpeace protested outside Cairn Energy’s HQ in
Edinburgh in solidarity with Alianza Mar Blava (Blue Sea Alliance) who are
opposing oil exploration around the Balearic islands. Cairn’s plans threaten
the future of tourism, fishing and endangered species like dolphins and
turtles
In Ibiza, the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, will be joined by a
flotilla of boats in a seaborne protest against Cairn Energy’s oil prospecting
plans. Ibiza and the Balearic islands are well known to many British people as
one of the most beautiful and popular tourist destinations in the
Mediterranean. But for local people it is their livelihoods that are under
threat.

Home at last: Anthony, Kieron, Alex, Iain and Phil arrive in London
They're finally home.
An hour ago, Alex, Anthony, Phil, Iain, and Kieron stepped
through arrivals at St Pancras International, and are completely free at last.

When six women climbed the Shard everyone knew it was a landmark moment. Two months later 3000 people walked with the world's largest polar bear to Shell's headquarters. Three days after that 28 peaceful activists and two journalists were arrested at gunpoint. We were practically tripping over the landmark moments in 2013.

Big news! The Arctic 30 have been granted amnesty.
Earlier today the Russian government agreed to amend an amnesty bill to include the Arctic 30, and just now the bill was officially adopted by their parliament. This means legal proceedings against them will be halted and they should be home soon.

Amazing news! This morning Colin Russell was in court in St Petersburg to appeal the decision that he should not be released on bail. Not even four minutes after we learned that his hearing had started, news came that Colin had been granted bail.
