Greenpeace activists disrupt UEFA Champions League match

The game was interrupted for a few minutes at first. According to ВВС, Greenpeace activists hoisted a banner over the stadium, which said "Don't Foul the Arctic", with a hash tag #FreeTheArctic30. The game was resumed then.



The action was aimed to protest against Schalke 04 and the Champions League main sponsor Gasprom.


Euroradio reminds, 30 members of Greenpeace ship "Arctic Sunrise" were arrested for two months in Murmansk. It happened when several activists tried to climb onto the platform "Gazprom Oil Shelf" which belongs to the Russian energy company.
