Six UK Greenpeace Activists Arrested in Anti-Coal Action
--------------------------------------------------------



In England, six activists with Greenpeace were arrested Monday after
they boarded a moving bulk freighter carrying thousands of tons of coal
bound for a coal-fired power station.

Sarah Shoraka, Greenpeace: “We’re here to stop coal being delivered to
Kingsnorth power station, because coal is the single-most
climate-wrecking fuel there is.”
