The organization wanted to exhibit cages during their protests in places such as Groningen and Murmansk to protest against the cages used for prisoners in Russia. The activists have requested to be released on bail. Thursday the Murmansk court decided the Groningen activist Mannes Ubels remains in custody. Friday, the Amsterdam campaign manager Faiza Oulahsen appeared in court, and was also denied bail. The group is accused of piracy, and risks a maximum sentence of 15 years.
