Members of the Spanish Navy approach Greenpeace activists aboard inflatables, during a protest against the Repsol oil company's plans to drill off the coast of the Canary Islands. During the protest, the activists are aggressively intercepted and rammed repeatedly by three Spanish Navy boats from the Navy patrol ship ‘Relámpago’ (P43) which has been escorting the ‘Rowan Renaissance.' One activist, an Italian woman aged 23, suffers a broken leg and is evacuated to hospital in Las Palmas by the Spanish Navy. Another activist is treated on board the ‘Arctic Sunrise’ for minor cuts.
