'Arctic 30' in Saint Petersburg (Video)

The 'Arctic 30' are transferred to St. Petersburg, via Volkhov, Leningrad Oblast. The 'Arctic 30' (twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance photographer and a freelance videographer), already detained in Murmansk for almost two months, face charges of piracy and hooliganism for a peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling in the Pechora Sea. Greenpeace International insists that piracy and hooliganism charges are unjustified, and that Russian authorities boarded the Arctic Sunrise illegally in international waters. Several international legal experts have supported that view. The shoot includes images of the 'Arctic 30' being released on bail.
