Greenpeace captains freed

The captains of the two Greenpeace ships arrested on Sunday were released by Rotterdam police on Monday night, says the environmental organisation.


The men were arrested and the ships, the Rainbow Warrior and the Beluga, impounded following a weekend of protests about the construction of a new coal-fired power plant in Rottedam’s port area.
