Protesters rallying for the release of 30 Greenpeace activists - including two Kiwis - are holding fort outside New Zealand's Russian Embassy today.
About 15 protesters, including the Green Party's Gareth Hughes, donned red t-shirts featuring the words "Free the Arctic 30" for the protest this morning.
Thirty of the organisation's activists are being held onboard the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise.
The crew were protesting against oil drilling in Arctic waters when the Arctic Sunrise was stormed by Russia's Coast Guard on Thursday.
