Greenpeace: "Xena" actress arrested after protest on drilling ship
Actress Lucy Lawless, famous for starring in the television show "Xena: Warrior Princess," was arrested along with six other Greenpeace activists early Monday for boarding a drilling ship last week in New Zealand, according to Greenpeace. She and the others who were aboard the ship without permission were released shortly after their arrest, the activist organization said.
CNN.com spoke with Lawless on Friday while she was having a restless night on the Noble Discoverer, a ship leased to Shell Oil. The ship was docked in the Port of Taranaki when the actress and other activists, on behalf of Greenpeace, made it on board to protest drilling in the Arctic.
The group was able to display signs on the Discoverer's 174-foot drilling tower. One sign said "Stop Shell #SaveTheArctic."
Lawless told CNN on Friday that she expected to be arrested for the stunt but that she and the others intended to remain on the ship for as long as possible. She stressed that exchanges between them and authorities had been peaceful.
"We feel very much that what happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic anymore," Lawless said. "An oil spill can never be cleaned up because of the remoteness and the freezing temperatures. We risk trashing whole ecosystems and poisoning them from plankton on up. It's absolutely unthinkable."

How do you like me now. I'm great. You all want me.
Nah not really, at least not without some makeup. That's not a flattering picture of you at all.
Lucy I've been a fan of your for years . I am a 71 yo black female who appreciates and applaudes your efforts on behalf of Greenpeace. Keep up the good work and God speed. PS: any more Xenas in the works (:
High speed and bullet trains can eliminate using fossile fuel for much or most of domestic aviation. The fuel left over can be put more into the gasoline distillates in order to expand its availability and improve its efficiency. The trains can be run much more efficiently by nuclear plants. (sorry... solar and wind can't generate enough power). Solar plants can generate Hydrogen for future auto technologies (actually already in existance).
Correct, and I just saw a City Bus in El Paso, TX that is converted to Natural Gas. We only need to convert 1/3 of gasoline engines to LNG to eliminate any need for Middle-East oil. But we must continue middle-east wars to continue importing middle-east? – NOT. Evil at play. Oilmen at play. You will find no difference.
bullet trains will take decades to build and cost 100s of billions of dollars-not feasible-and unless they can do the trip in half teh time technology will allow, no one will use them
they should of kept her in jail. Breaking laws only shows ignorance. There are more effective ways to get your point across without looking like an idiot. Her t-shirt should of said, "Im with stupid".
IIF you really feel that way go down and tell Shell oil that. THEY continuously break laws without the slightest thought. I admire her for at least putting herself in a position to DO something.
One way of avoiding to look like an idiot is to know the difference between a preposition and a verb. 😉
What a total loser! Go back to your mamma's basement and stay there.
"Should of," huh? Maybe you need to concentrate on graduating the third grade.
Not taking any side in this discussion (for now), but I am a bit concerned that Shell is being bashed as a typical greedy American oil company, when in fact it is Dutch.
They deserve it...look at their history of exploitation in South America. They are notorious for making a mess and figuring out how to get away with doing as little as possible to clean it up. They are supposed to be bashed along with all the others.
VoR,
You can't really expect the far left to actually do research or check facts. They are fact averse.
Apparently reading comprehension isn't a strength of the far right.
This should be a wake up call for bullies. You better think twice before you open your mouth or type with your fingers; YOU may end up the loser. Consider yourselves on notice and warned.
I'm not sure who you're talking to, but I generally type with my mouth closed.
Why are your panties all in a bunch?
What does that even mean? Did you mean to post about the story about that little dork that gunned down the bullies at his school?
Wrong article...
Sherri, it seems to me that you are the one trying to bully and intimidate people in that post. Do you really expect to get away with that? LOL
Last I checked, New Zealand was a lot closer to the Antarctic Ocean than the Artcic Ocean. They're wearing the wrong t-shirts in the photos; off by thousands of miles.
Good point. Greenpeace are not the sharpest bunch of activists.
That's because the far left is all about feelings and emotions. They don't worry about facts much.
And apparently, the far right have problems with reading comprehension.
Uh you are allowed to support a cause that isn't right next door to you. And a major spill anywhere in the ocean effects the ocean elsewhere. Something about how they are all connected or something. But what do I know, I'm a left-winger and maps and facts confuse me.
I admire her for sticking to her beliefs. I don't care if she broke the law. Oil companies do that all the time while they strip our earth of natural resources. It was a peaceful confrontation. Point made.
Wow I wondered where she went. I always enjoyed watching xena during the nineties it was a classic.
She's on Spartacus now. Again, she has a great set of t!ts!
Agreed. Best TV series ever produced, IMO.
Battle on Lucy! You go girl!
Well, she is Lawless after all.
Someone please help Lucy read a map. New Zealand is not close to the Arctic.
Someone please help Spam Eater read a map. Greenpeace is a worldwide campaign. Doesn't matter where you live. While you're helping Spam Eater read the map of the entire world, be sure to remind him that the world isn't really flat, like the map.
Maybe you should just try reading the article. LOL.
If I was the arresting officer, I am sure there is something we can work out to get this young lady out of my trouble:)
except for McVeigh who was christian
You don't even know what a Christian is.
doubt you do either
To oh'really: ANYWAYS, aside from making purely religious (not necessarily Christian or correct, and completely uncalled for) judgement calls about people, kudos to Lucy for standing for her beliefs. Wish more people had the guts to do it.
Well, Oh'really...I encounter lots of people who CLAIM to be Christians. Unfortunately, most of 'em are JUST LIKE YOU. 🙁
Xena has aged, and not well.
So says Mitch, the pimple-faced pud puller from his mama's basement. LOL!
Greenpeace is stupid, not to mention geographically challenged.
Mitch: "Greenpeace is stupid, not to mention geographically challenged."
Haters are stupid, not to mention emotionally challenged.
