MADRID (TheBlaze/AP) — Spain’s navy rammed into a Greenpeace dinghy during a Saturday protest in the Atlantic Ocean against oil exploration near the Canary Islands, injuring four of its activists, one of them seriously, the environmental organization said.
However, the navy disputed that account, noting it dispatched two boats from one of its ships in the area to prevent Greenpeace from boarding a large oil drilling ship; one of its activists was seriously injured when she fell out of her dinghy and was hit by its propellers, the navy added.
Speaking by radio-telephone from Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise in the area, Capt. Joel Stewart identified the woman as a 23-year-old Italian activist and said the other three other injuries were minor. The navy said it rushed the activist to a Spanish hospital in a helicopter.
