In an incredible display of support, groups across the globe have come together at Russian embassies and other locations to demand the immediate release of the 'Arctic 30.' These protests are part of an emergency Global Day of Solidarity. Tens of thousands of people participate in activities held in over 160 locations in 46 countries throughout the world. A Russian court charged twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance videographer and photographer, with piracy this week. The charges follow a peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling at a Gazprom oil platform in the Pechora Sea.
