Greenpeace activists protest deforestation at P&G headquarters

摘要

Greenpeace activists who hung protest banners from Procter & Gamble Co. headquarters in Cincinnati yesterday have been arrested, according to the city police department. The police department said nine of the activists were arrested after the protest and were being held on charges that include burglary and vandalism. The 60-foot banners, hung from P&G's two downtown office towers, were protesting the company's sourcing of palm oil from a supplier that the environmental group says has ties to tropical deforestation in Indonesia (Dan Sewell, AP/Colorado Springs Gazette, March 4).
