Hamburg 2013-10-30: Greenpeace activists read out the names of the imprisoned environmentalists in Russia; the so-called Arctic 30; in front of six Russian diplomatic missions. The action takes part in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Bonn and Munich just one week before the hearing at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) where the fate of the Greenpeace vessel “Arctic Sunrise” and its crew will be discussed. The Netherlands as a flag state of the “Arctic Sunrise” have made an application against Russia at the ITLOS in Hamburg to release the captured ship in Murmansk and the Arctic 30.
