To the Heads of State of Brazil, India, China, and South Africa:

With the arrest of peaceful climate defenders in international waters, Russian authorities violated international laws. As a partner of the Federation of Russia, we are calling on you to call on your Russian counterparts to immediately release the 30 Greenpeace activists, and stop this crackdown on climate defenders.

Save the 30 climate heroes
When the Arctic Sunrise set sail to protest oil drilling in the icy Arctic waters, its brave crew didn’t expect helicopter pursuits and Russian special forces pointing guns at their chests. Now they’re charged with piracy and may suffer in a Russian jail for 15 years!
 
Greenpeace has already got this all over the media, done amazing stunts and rained down messages on Russian embassies. The Russian authorities are now watching to see if the fuss dies down, and it’s up to us to ensure it doesn’t! Greenpeace has just asked for the Avaaz community to help by getting the leaders of countries with close ties to Putin to urge Russia to back down.

Our community’s global reach is unmatched. If a million of us sign the urgent petition to help free the Arctic 30 this week, we’ll project these brave climate defenders’ faces on high profile buildings in Delhi, Brasilia, Beijing, and Pretoria, so our call cannot be ignored. Add your voice, and send this widely.
