Greenpeace Whaling Protest Disrupted in St. Kitts, Ten Arrested
FRIGATE BAY, St. Kitts, June 20, 2006 (ENS)
 Ten Greenpeace anti-whaling activists from seven countries were arrested by police at Frigate Bay today as they attempted to create a symbolic "whale graveyard" to protest Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The demonstration came as the International Whaling Commission wound up its annual meeting in St. Kitts that has seen the Japanese led pro-whaling group of countries nearly dominate the proceedings for the first time in two decades.
