Greenpeace Protests in Moscow As Arctic Sunrise Tribunal Opens.

MOSCOW/HAMBURG, November 6 (RIA Novosti) – As an international tribunal got underway Wednesday in Hamburg over Greenpeace activists imprisoned in Russia, the environmental organization launched boats along the Moscow River in protest over Russia’s boycott of the hearing.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea opened its hearing at 13:00 Moscow time (9:00 GMT) into the Arctic Sunrise icebreaker and its multinational crew, who were arrested after staging a protest near a Russian oil platform in the Arctic in September. The case against Russia was brought to the tribunal by the Netherlands, under whose flag the Arctic Sunrise was sailing.
