The court has not yet been changing the measure of the Greenpeace activists

The Murmansk court in custody of two Greenpeace activists, despite the fact that on the eve of the Investigative Committee of Russia, re -qualified the charges against the crew of the Arctic Sunrise Ecologists from piracy for hooliganism.

The court considered the defense appeal of the senior assistant captain Paul Douglas Ruzhitski and activists of Ana Paula Masiel, detained on September 19, among the other 30 ecologists activists, after their action near the Oil Platform "Prirazlomnaya" in protest against the pollution of the Arctic.

Paul Douglas Ruzhitski Larisa Vasilieva told Radio Liberty that the Investigative Committee will begin to charge hooliganism from October 25.

In Greenpeace, the accusations of activists of hooliganism are considered as absurd as in piracy, and intend to continue to achieve the liberation of the detainees.

Activists of the organization who are now in the Murmansk investigative insulators have never been hooligans or pirates, the statement published on Thursday on the organization’s website is noted.

From October 25 to 27, in more than 20 cities of Russia, an action will be held in support of the arrested environmentalists. Its symbol will be a paper boat with the inscription "Freedom".
