Greenpeace Climate Activists Released.
Greenpeace Climate Activists Released After Three Weeks in Jail for COP15 Protest
Danish police today release four Greenpeace climate protesters who had been held in prison for nearly three weeks. The four activists from Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands had been arrested following a peaceful protest staged on December 17th during the UN climate summit in Copenhagen.
Posing as the delegation of a non-existent nation, three activists managed to enter a dinner organised for the heads of state organised by the Danish Queen. They then unfurled a banner reading “politicians talk, leaders act” before they were taken by security. A fourth activist was arrested later.
Disappointed at the outcome of the UN climate summit and at the unfair detention of the activists, Greenpeace is committed to continue its struggle for a climate treaty that will protect the planet from catastrophic climate change.
