About 20 Greenpeace activists were arrested at the Edinburgh headquarters of Cairn Energy Plc today after protesting against Cairn’s refusal to publish its spill-response plans for deep-water drilling off Greenland, the environmental group said.
The activists entered the offices to “search for a copy of the company’s secret oil spill plans,” Greenpeace said in an e-mailed statement. Lothian and Borders police said in a statement on its website that “a number of people” were arrested at Cairn’s offices and will appear at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court tomorrow.
