Greenpeace International activist Dimitri "Dima" Litvinov (from Sweden/USA) is released on bail from the SIZO 1 detention centre in St. Petersburg.

The 'Arctic 30' (twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance photographer and a freelance videographer) face charges of piracy and hooliganism for a peaceful protest against oil drilling in the Arctic.

The Kalininskiy Court in St Petersburg granted bail to Dimitri on Friday (22th November) pending the payment of 2 million ruble bail. He has now left the detention centre, but the conditions of his bail are not yet fully known.
