Footage of boarding Arctic Sunrise

Greenpeace posted footage of the boarding of the Arctic Sunrise on September 19 on the Internet. Members of the Russian coast guard lowered themselves from a helicopter on the deck and arrested the crew: 28 activists and two journalists. They were then transported to Murmansk with the ship. The video shows a helicopter hovering over the deck. A member of the Coast Guard lowers himself on the deck, but then just stands there, surrounded by the campaigners who have their hands up in the air. A few minutes later, he is reinforced by an armed colleague. The crew is rounded up inside the ship. Greenpeace does not want to disclose how it got the videos. Arctic sunrise,
