UK arrests Greenpeace boss after group dumps 80 gallons of red dye into US Embassy pond


LONDON, April 10 – British police have arrested the UK head of Greenpeace, alongside five other activists, after they poured 300 liters of blood-red dye into a pond at the U.S. Embassy on Thursday in protest against the U.S. sale of arms to Israel.

Will McCallum, the environmental campaign group’s UK head, and the others, disguised as delivery riders on bicycles with trailers, Greenpeace said, tipped the dye into the high-security embassy’s semi-circular pond.

McCallum and the others were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause criminal damage, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
