Greenpeace activist Ubels spends night in hospital

Greenpeace activist Mannes Ubels will spend the night from Friday to Saturday in a Russian private clinic for observation. Ubels experienced physical discomfort after his imprisonment. Greenpeace provided all the crew members that were released with an initial medical check-up, but Ubels chose for additional testing, because of his symptoms, according to his girlfriend Carmen van Woudenberg, who was with him at the time. If all goes well, the couple will join the rest of the team at the 'safe house' on Saturday. mannes ubels

The couple is still not sure whether Russia will adopt the ruling of the international tribunal, allowing the activists to leave Russia. They hope to find out more when they are back at the 'safe house'.
