Judge broadens injunction shielding Shell vessels from Greenpeace
A federal judge in Alaska yesterday expanded a restraining order preventing activists from disrupting Royal Dutch Shell PLC's oil drilling activities this summer in the Arctic Ocean. Judge Sharon Gleason of the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska extended an injunction against Greenpeace activists to as far as 200 miles from the U.S. shore, a significant expansion to an earlier ban in March that extended to the nation's 12 miles of territorial waters.
