Greenpeace crew in 'shock' in Russian jails | Fox News
Moscow (AFP) – Greenpeace crew members detained in Russian jails for two months over their open-sea protest against Arctic oil drilling are "close to shock" over their conditions, a rights activist said Tuesday.
The 30 detained are being held in pre-trial detention centres in the cities of Murmansk and Apatity, which are nearly 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles) north of Moscow and above the Arctic Circle.

The activists have complained of cold cells and a lack of suitable clothing and food, said Irina Paikacheva, the head of a state-connected regional prisoners' rights watchdog.

Several non-smoking activists also complain of being placed in cells with chain-smokers.

A young Finnish female activist is a vegan and unable to eat prison food, Paikacheva said, adding that prison officials had denied her request for vitamins to be delivered to her.

Support these Greenpeace pirates. Send eye patches, parrots and wooden legs to Jail Central, Murmansk.
Oh the delicious irony - Greenies suffering the unexpected outcome of their actions instead of the rest of society.
I say that the rest of 'We are the 99%' should protest in Russia in solidarity.
Whah. Whah. Whah.
