Greenpeace activists occupy ship in Canaries
Four Greenpeace activists were occupying a refrigerated ship in the Canary Islands today, pressuring the Spanish government to seize what the environmental group says is a cargo of illegally transported fish.
Three activists climbed aboard the Panamanian-flagged Binar 4 before dawn yesterday, and under cover of darkness four others replaced them early today, said Sebastian Losada, a Greenpeace representative at the scene of the protest in Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.
