"Greenpeace activists occupy the
anchor chain of the ship Clipper Hope for more than 48 hours, near São
Luis do Maranhão port, with a banner reading ‘Amazon Crime' and 'Dilma,
Desliga a Motoserra (President Dilma, turn off the chainsaw)'. The
activists are preventing the departure of the ship from the Amazon to
the USA, where its cargo of pig iron will be used to make steel for the
US car industry. Greenpeace is taking action to expose a trio of serious
crimes in the production of Brazilian pig iron including slave labour,
deforestation and the invasion of indigenous lands. The organization is
calling for Dilma to protect the Amazon and the people who depend on it,
as well as veto changes to the country's 'forest code' and support
Greenpeace's call for zero deforestation." by Chris Eaton via Flickr May 16 at 2:47 PM
