Gathered press interview Eugene Riguidel, one of France's most famous sailors and a member of the Atlantic Nuclear Free Flotilla, after his release from a 24 hour detention in the Arsenal of Cherbourg, France. Riguidel was among activists arrested by French military police for peacefully protesting against the imminent arrival of two BNFL (British Nuclear Fuels) ships, which are carrying 140kg of radioactive weapons-grade plutonium. The Pacific Pintail and the Pacific Teal left the U.S. port of Charleston, SC on September 20th. Greenpeace believes the shipment conducted by the US and France is unnecessarily threatening international security and putting the environment at risk.
