"Moscow (AFP) - Russian investigators said Wednesday several of the 30 Greenpeace activists already charged with piracy over an open-sea protest were set to face new charges for "other grave crimes" after finding drugs on their ship."
The environmental group vehemently denied the charge that their vessel, the Arctic Sunrise, had carried illegal drugs, calling the allegation a "smear."
Yep, these poor young men were obviously setup and the drugs planted by these evil Russians.

"THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The Dutch foreign minister apologized to Moscow on Wednesday for the detention of a Russian diplomat in The Hague, saying his right to diplomatic immunity had been violated.
Russian Embassy officials said Dutch police entered the diplomat's home, beat him with a baton and illegally detained him for several hours last weekend. Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded a Dutch apology for the incident."
It appears that someone in the Dutch police is going to be reassigned to a better position, perhaps directing traffic at the Arctic Circle.

I may not have all the facts here , so don't take it as 100%
But I was listening to an interview on the World Service .
Seems that Green Peace went about this operation/Demonsration in a not as usual a way they normaly do Boarding another Ship .
They apparently didn't give any indication to the Russian Ship of who they were .
I think also the Ship they were in was meant to Hood Wink the Russians to think they were some one else ,
This I think was the Big Mistake they made on the High Seas !
The Russians were carrying Special Forces as protection {Standard Practice ,
So basically the Russians have been given the chance to play the Piracy Card .

GUZMAN1:
The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) defines piracy as:
the act of boarding any vessel with an intent to commit theft or any other crime, and with an intent or capacity to use force in furtherance of that act.For me, these alarmists and fakers of Greenpeace need a lesson of how to behave properly with the rest of the world. We are not so stupid by not thinking like them.

HA!! As I said from the beginning, the accusation of piracy was something so ridiculous.
Now the Russians asskissers like Guzman, have to shut up from the evidence.

Why is it such big deal that Russians arrest Greenpeace protesters while no one is talking about this?:
CANADIAN POLICE ARREST 40 NATIVE PROTESTERS
(Reuters) - Police in the eastern Canadian province of New Brunswick arrested about 40 people on Thursday after efforts to dismantle a highway barricade turned violent and protesters against shale gas exploration set several police vehicles on fire.
Susan Levi-Peters, the former chief of the nearby Elsipogtog aboriginal reserve, said the police had moved in aggressively on unarmed protesters.
"The RCMP is coming in here with their tear gas - they even had dogs on us," she said. "They were acting like we're standing there with weapons, while we are standing there, as women, with drums and eagle feathers. This is crazy. This is not Canada."

Boarding another ship or offshore platform without permission has always been called piracy. Read the link, if you know how.

Greenpeace did this before, and they held up the operation on that rig for 12 hours. 12 hours. That is a lot of money lost. They were let away that time and nothing happened them. Now they are letting them away again, but after a more serious action. Next time, I can see a very serious accident happening to those Greenepeace activists. We can see the progression.

I can't believe that the Russians are letting them go with the drugs being found , makes no sense other than a news release being made to try to embarrass the Russians .Not very smart if its so. Greenpeace pulled a similar stunt here on a drilling ship in harbour .Lucy Lawless who's acting role of Zena ,Warrior Princess was the promotion name used for that protest , she been involved with the protest about the lot sitting in Russia .
