How Russia “seized” and “imprisoned” a Greenpeace ship | John Sauven interview
Former Greenpeace chief John Sauven explains how after his organisation occupied one of Russia's oil rigs, Putin's government "seized the ship" and "all the crew on board, illegally."
Sauven tells the story of how Greenpeace campaigned for the release of their crew and what lessons from this event could be applied to dealing with Putin over the Russia Ukraine crisis.
