Russia grants bail to most of the Greenpeace activists charged with hooliganism

Conflict & Justice

A Brazilian Greenpeace activist walked out of a courtroom in Saint Petersburg, Russia on Wednesday, free until her trial on charges of hooliganism. She was holding a sign that said “Save the Arctic.” Most of the 29 others picked up in the Arctic while protesting offshore drilling there, have been granted bail and should be released this weekend.

A passenger train starts, with a green carriage which is believed to transport 30 people who were arrested over a Greenpeace protest at the Prirazlomnaya oil rig seen in the train formation, in Murmansk on the way to St. Petersburg, November 11, 2013.
