Support for the Arctic 30 at COP19 in Warsaw

Civil society advocates from all over the world join Greenpeace for a vigil in support of the Arctic 30 climate defenders at the UN Climate negotiations in Poland. As delegates were arriving for the morning session, activists from youth, the Climate Action Network (CAN) and other groups stood in silence to recognise the Arctic 30. They formed a human chain holding pictures of the imprisoned climate defenders as well as messages emphasizing the need for urgent climate action. The Arctic 30, 28 Greenpeace International activists and a freelance photographer and freelance videographer, are currently detained by Russian authorities and have been refused bail. They are still charged with both piracy and hooliganism.
