Nachdem das Schiff bei Nacht und Nebel eine erste Greenpeace-Sperre passieren konnte, wurde es heute im Rheinhafen in Weil vor Basel an Ketten gelegt. Rund ein Dutzend AktivistInnen haben sich auf dem Schiff angekettet. In den kommenden Tagen werden weitere Schiffe mit genmanipulierter Soja in Basel erwartet. Der Verband kleiner und mittlerer Bauern, die Stiftung für Konsumentenschutz und Greenpeace erstatten Anzeige gegen die Einfuhr dieser Soja und verlangen, dass sämtliche Schiffsladungen mit gentechnisch manipulierten Mais- und Sojaprodukten von den Behörden konfisziert werden.Locations:Alpine Countries-Basel-Switzerland-Weil am RheinDate:12 Dec, 1996Credit:© Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David AdairMaximum size:1322px X 1926pxRestrictions:Images ok for use in all Greenpeace campaigns, products and brochures.
