15th November. Members of the Spanish Navy approach activists aboard inflatables, during the protest against Repsol. The activist's inflatables were aggressively intercepted and rammed repeatedly by three Spanish Navy boats from the Navy patrol ship ‘Relámpago’ (P43) which had been escorting the Rowan Renaissance. One activist suffered a broken leg and was evacuated to hospital in Las Palmas by the Spanish Navy. Another activist is treated on board the Arctic Sunrise for minor cuts.
