Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of rock group the Pretenders, joined crew onboard Greenpeace flagship the Rainbow Warrior in Valencia harbour this afternoon, to demand that the Spanish government free the ship.
The Rainbow Warrior was impounded following a Greenpeace action at the port on 13th June to block the import of illegal and destructively logged timber from Cameroon's rainforests. The Spanish Government have ordered Greenpeace to post a bond of Euro 300,000 in order for the ship to be released.
