"Thank you, Mr President. I want to read the start of a letter from Alexandra Harris, one of those imprisoned.
‘Dear Mum, Dad and Georgie, it’s very cold now. It snowed last night. The blizzard blew my very poorly-insulated window open and I had to sleep wearing my hat. I am nervous about spending winter here. I have a radiator in my cell but it’s the Arctic breeze that makes the place very cold. I heard that from December, Murmansk is dark for six weeks. God, I hope I’m out by then.’
Alexandra and the others are not pirates. She should be saluted rather than jailed for her and the others’ courageous act. A very strong message is needed from people all across the world to demand their immediate release and the dropping of all charges, because otherwise the green light goes on for other governments do the same and for Putin to step up the repression against protesters within Russia.
Of course, this is part of the race to the Arctic. The Russian Government is part of it, big oil is part of it, and the other governments who represent big oil are part of it. That race has to be stopped. It can only be stopped by a mass movement from below."@en1
