St. Petersburg's Primorsky District Court has freed Arctic Sunrise crewmember Tomasz Dziemianczuk of Poland on bail, Greenpeace said on Twitter.
It was reported earlier that the same court released Arctic Sunrise crewmembers David Haussmann of New Zealand and Hernan Perez Orzi of Brazil on bail.
The three will leave the detention facility the moment that the money is transferred to the investigative department’s bank account.
It was reported earlier that the Kalininsky district court of St. Petersburg released Russian citizen Yekaterina Zaspa, an Arctic Sunrise doctor, Denis Sinyakov, a photographer, and Greenpeace press secretary Andrei Allakhverdov on bail at two million rubles each.
The funds could be transferred on Tuesday or Wednesday, defense attorney Alexander Changli told Interfax.
However, the Primorsky district court of St. Petersburg extended the pre-trial detention of Australian activist Colin Russell.
Thirty crewmembers of the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise were detained by Russian border guards in the Pechora Sea while trying to hold a protest against oil extraction activities on the Prirazlomnaya oilrig. The environmentalists were taken to Murmansk. The Greenpeace activists were arrested for two months. The environmentalists were later transferred to detention facilities in St. Petersburg.
Head of the Russian president’s Human Rights Council Mikhail Fedotov told reporters in St. Petersburg on November 15 that the Greenpeace activists’ transfer to St. Petersburg from Murmansk suggested a pending change in the measure of their restraint.
