Canada: Greenpeace Breaks into Site to Protest Tar Sands
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

A group of campaigners from environmental NGO Greenpeace broke into a site owned by Syncrude Canada Ltd, a consortium of different oil companies, in Alberta to protest against the company's involvement in new oil sands developments.

The protesters blocked a waste water pipe and unfurled a banner labelling tar sands as 'the World's Dirtiest Oil'. The campaign group is urging the government of Alberta not to approve new licences for the extraction of oil sands.
