Blockade at Stora Enso Paper Company (Kemi, Finland: 2007)

Two police officers remove an activist who is locked to a gate. A Greenpeace activist protests in front of the world's largest paper company, Stora Enso, to demand a stop to the destruction of ancient forests in northern Lapland. At the same time, activists launched a protest at the nearby Botnia pulp mill, one of Europe's largest pulp producers. Around 40 activists from 6 countries blocked both factories by locking themselves to the gates. The companies stand accused of destroying huge tracts of Europe's last remaining ancient forests to make paper for well-known magazines, photocopy paper and packaging for consumer goods.
