More Arctic crew out on bail

The Russian court in St. Petersburg ruled that Arctic Sunrise crew member, Mannes Ubels, may also be released on bail. Ubels was the chief engine room of the Arctic Sunrise , the icebreaker used in the campaign against oil drilling in the Arctic. The ship was boarded by the Russian coast guard in September and the crew has been detained since. mannes ubels

It is not entirely clear when the members will be released, and whether they will be allowed to leave the City, or Russia. Greenpeace Netherlands is cautiously relieved. Even though the exact conditions of the release are not yet known, it will be an improvement in their situation. They won't be confined to a cell anymore. The organization is making preparations to provide the members who are to be released with adequate living arrangements. It may take up to 48 hours before they are released. The bail still needs to be paid, reports a spokesperson for Greenpeace. So far sixteen of the Arctic 30 are allowed to await the beginning of the lawsuit outside a prison cell. The only one for whom this is not true, is the Australian Colin Russell. It is still unclear why his detention has been extended with three months.
