Actress Lucy Lawless has been arrested, along with five other Greenpeace activists in Port Taranaki, New Zealand.
The arrests end a 77-hour protest at the top of a 53m drilling tower on Shell oil exploration ship the Noble Discoverer.
Protesters boarded the Arctic-bound ship and scaled the drilling tower on Friday morning, locking the access ladder to barricade themselves.

.

said Lawless, before being arrested.
