Norway’s coastguard reportedly accused Greenpeace of causing a collision at sea in which an environmentalist was seriously injured during an anti-whaling protest. The coastguard said that Greenpeace’s inflatable dinghy obstructed legal whaling in Norwegian waters on Saturday and was hit by a coastguard vessel when it tried to escape arrest.
