Kumi Naidoo: the global activist

Global activist and civil society leader Kumi Naidoo has occupied the global stage on civic matters for many years' but not only in an administrative capacity. In June 2011, he was imprisoned for four days in Greenland after scaling an oil platform owned by Cairn Energy as part of Greenpeace's "Go Beyond Oil" campaigns. And, in 2012, he was one of a group of Greenpeace activists who occupied the Prirazlomnaya oil platform in the Pechora Sea in the Arctic to protest against oil drilling in the Arctic.
