Greenpeace has released this previously unseen footage allegedly showing a Russian boarding team rappelling onto the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise in the Pechora Sea.
As gCaptain reported, Russian special forces boarded the Greenpeace ship in international waters on September 19, a day after two Greenpeace protesters scaled the Prirazlomnaya arctic oil platform. After seizing the vessel and detaining the crew, Russian investigators charged a total 30 people with hooliganism to replace original charges of piracy, which is punishable by up to 15 years in jail.
In the final moments of video you can see what appears to be the Arctic Sunrise being towed to the port of Murmansk by a Russian Coast Guard vessel, which ironically is seen at the end of the rainbow.
Here are some more photos for your reference:
