Greenpeace activists do battle in Pacific

  • 06/07/2000

The Rainbow Warrior, the vessel on which Greenpeace activists sail the Pacific to wage war against environmental threats, has found a fertile new battleground in the waters between Russia and Japan. On Tuesday, the Rainbow Warrior tried to stop a Russian ship carrying timber to Japan that Greenpeace says was logged illegally in the Primore region of the Far East. At least one Greenpeace activist was thrown off the ship after boarding it.
