Two Dutch Greenpeace activists released on bail THE HAGUE, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Dutch Greenpeace activists Faiza Oulahsen and Mannes Ubels, who were detained following attempt to land on a Russian oil rig in September, have been granted bail by a Russian court, Dutch media reported on Wednesday. Their case was suspended, the judge of the Primorsky district court in St. Petersburg ruled. The exact conditions of the bail are not yet known. They are among 30 activists on board Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise ship. They were detained on Sept. 19 by the Russian authorities after attempting to stage a protest against oil drilling at Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora Sea. Thank you to all the supporters out there calling for our release. You gave us hope. You gave us strength," Oulahsen said after the decision. On the palm of her hand was written the words "Save the Arctic." "I'm going to have a good meal, and I'm going to call my family because I haven't spoken to them in more than two months," she said. I'm going to enjoy the fact that I can walk more than just three yards in the cell, and some fresh air. The group was originally arrested and indicted for piracy and could, according to Russian law, be imprisoned up to 15 years. Investigators stated piracy charges were already dropped, but Greenpeace lawyers said those charges have still not been formally removed. Some other activists on board of the Arctic Sunrise ship have been released on Monday and Tuesday. The court ruled that the activists would be released upon paying a bail of 2 million rubles (62,500 U.S. dollars) each. So far only Australian Colin Russell must remain in jail until Feb. 24 pending investigation. His request for bail or house arrest was denied. The Netherlands had already asked the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in Hamburg to order Russia to release the 30 detained activists. Judgment in this case is scheduled for Friday.
