Action against Toxic Cargo Ship in Turkey
Greenpeace intercepts a European cargo vessel as it illegally attempts to enter a Turkish ship-breaking yard with dangerous toxic waste on board. The vessel "Sea Beirut" was towed from France to be scrapped at Aliaga, one of Turkey's notorious ship breaking yards with asbestos still on board. Six Greenpeace activists climb onto the ship and demand that it returns to France. Climbers hang a banner reading "Stop Toxic Ship Trade" and display a toxic logo of a skull and cross bones to warn that the ship contains dangerous toxic waste.
