Anti-Arctic drilling activists arrested at Seattle harbor
SEATTLE – Five activists opposed to undersea oil drilling off the north shore of Alaska were arrested as they continued their ongoing series of protests Tuesday morning, blocking a Seattle terminal where a Royal Dutch Shell arctic oil rig is being fitted out.
The protesters set up blockades at two entrances to Terminal 5, where the Polar Pioneer is being prepared for its journey to northern Alaska to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean. The massive rig has been a lightning rod for numerous protests since it was towed into Seattle in May.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
