Date: 20-Mar-07
Country: CANADA
The five, carrying a placard branding Harper a "climate criminal," attached a bicycle lock to the gates of Harper's official residence and then chained themselves to the gate.
They stayed there for three hours before being detained by police.
"Greenpeace activists were arrested, but the real crime is the failure to fight global warming," said Dave Martin of the activist group's Canadian wing.
Harper, elected in January 2006, has said Canada cannot meet its Kyoto targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissionswidely blamed for causing global warming.
No one in Harper's office was immediately available for comment.
