New Greenpeace-tuna fishermen clashes off Malta

Fresh clashes have been reported off Malta between tuna fishermen and Greenpeace. The owner of the two French fishing vessels, Jean-Marie Avallone, told AFP that a fisherman was injured when the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise rammed a trawler. But Greenpeace rejected that claim and said its ship had been trying to free tuna caught in cages and that it had turned around and sailed away as soon as it saw the two fishing boats heading towards it.
