Sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik creates a piece of art depicting the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise and the "Arctic 30". The piece was 15 feet wide and more than seven tonnes of sand was used in the activity.

The 28 Greenpeace International activists and a freelance photographer and freelance videographer are currently held in Russia following a peaceful protest at Gazprom’s Prirazlomnaya platform. The Arctic 30 have been refused bail and originally charged of piracy. Russian authorities say they are replacing piracy with a charge of hooliganism, punishable by seven years in prison.
