Two Israeli citizens currently living in New Zealand have been charged with burglary following a four day protest on a ship in Port Taranaki.
The two are part of a group of eight who boarded the oil drill ship “Noble Dicoverer” as it was being prepared for a voyage to Alaska. They were protesting over Shell’s intention to drill for oil in the Arctic.
Among the eight were 25-yr-old Llai Amir and 28-yr-old Shai Sebastian Naides. Amir is currently living in Auckland and Naides in Wellington.
The eight protesters spent four days atop the ship’s derrick.
Why would this ship be prepared for a trip to Alaska from so far away in NZ?
something not quite right here!!!
If you read the story, the ship is heading to the Arctic…hence Alaska.
