It seems heavily slanted in favor of Greenpeace For example  the article states that they activists attempted to board but not trespassed  Certain pharmaceutical drugs are kept in a safe The Russian authorities broke the safe after they took the vessel Sounds like it was written by GP Relies on a GP source  Two activists managed to attach themselves to the platform and attempted to climb despite being blasted with water whilst another activist was unable to attach themself to the platform Aside from the poor style the poor construction and the awkward attempt to make it gender neutral it reads like the person that wrote the sentence wants the reader to cheer for the GP activists What does it mean to attach oneself to a platform   Russian authorities forcibly took control of the Arctic Sunrise which was boarded from a helicopter by fifteen Federal Security Service officers in balaclavas armed with guns and knives Is it unusual that the Federal Service would wear balaclavas or arm themselves with guns and knives Given the task that they were performing such a uniform seems routine  At the time of the boarding the Arctic Sunrise was in Russias EEZ but not within the safety zone around the oil rig and permission was not sought to board it from the Arctic Sunrises flag state the Netherlands Does Russia need permission from NL to board a ship that is clearly dedicated to enabling activists to trespass on a Russian oil rig Its implied If its true it should be noted If not it should be removed   It is alleged that crew members and activists were punched and kicked during the forced boarding Alleged by whom Why were they punched and kicked Were the guards using more than the necessary amount of force to subdue noncooperative andor combative arrestees   The use of the monicker Arctic  implies a sympathetic viewpoint Just because certain media have used the term doesnt mean that WP should also Just because certain media organizations are sympathetic doesnt mean WP should be also It becomes a biased article when it uses such monickers that are intended to create sympathy for those arrested   Nearly the entire Responses section is irrelevant except for the responses and requests from the Govt of NL Seriously does anyone really consider it WP worthy that a reporter wrote something on Facebook  The Greenpeace Announcements section seems like a thinly veiled medium for advocating GPs position Perhaps a Russian Government Announcements would balance the article a bit but the idea of such a section seems silly   International Reaction section Again seems like a thinly veiled medium for listing anyone and any no one that supports GP I dont see the relevance Additionally how is this section different from the Responses section
