Greenpeace Activists Detained in Russia

Thom Hartmann discusses Russia's detainment of Greenpeace activists with Kumi Naidoo, International Executive Director of Greenpeace. www.greenpeace.org.



A Russian court has ordered that 10 Greenpeace activists, including an American ship captain, be held in custody for two months while the Russian authorities determine whether a protest last week at an offshore oil rig in the Arctic was an act of piracy. Russian border guards took control of the Arctic Sunrise, Greenpeace's ship with 30 activists aboard, in international waters last week. In this clip, the executive director of Greenpeace International, Kumi Naidoo, talks with Bill Moyers about the ongoing incident and his concerns for the crew, who are citizens of 18 countries.
