Greenpeace activists tie messages written on paper doves to the fence of the Peace Palace in the Hague. They do this at the end of a protest march which leads from the Russian embassy to the Peace Palace. Hundreds of people joined this march in solidarity with the 'Arctic 30' at the Russian Embassy in the Hague.

This protest is part of an emergency Global Day of Solidarity for the 'Arctic 30.’ Tens of thousands of people participate in activities held in over 160 locations in 46 countries throughout the world. A Russian court charged twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance videographer and photographer, with piracy this week. The charges follow a peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling at a Gazprom oil platform in the Pechora Sea.
