The shipment was so highly toxic that it killed seven people and poisoned another 44,000. Greenpeace calls on the Estonian government to detain the vessel and demands that the EU Commission and the member states ensures that the ship is held until a full criminal investigation is carried out. The Probo Koala has become a vital piece of evidence in the toxic investigation.Locations:Estonia-Harjumaa-Paldiski-The Balkan PeninsulaDate:26 Sep, 2006Credit:© Christian Aslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3784px X 2708pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Day-Greenpeace crew-KWCI (GPI)-Men-MY Arctic Sunrise-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Politicians-Small group of people-Toxics (campaign title)Shoot:Oceans and Toxics Tour in the Baltic SeaThe Arctic Sunrise tours the Baltic Sea, as Greenpeace looks at issues concerning both oceans and toxics campaigns.
