The Investigative Committee closed the criminal case on the Greenpeace action on the Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora Sea, the environmental organization reported. “The investigator told the Greenpeace lawyer that the Arctic Sunrise case is closed. There remains the property that was not returned to us, in particular, the crew's laptops and part of the ship's equipment. We were promised everything will be returned in the near future, ” told Interfax on Wednesday. Greenpeace Russia spokeswoman Maria Favorskaya

The Investigative Committee confirmed the information about the termination of the case, explaining that the case was closed due to amnesties. According to Favorskaya, Greenpeace is waiting for the European Court of Human Rights to consider a complaint about the arrest of the crew of the Arctic Sunrise. “We hope that the violation of the rights of activists during their arrest will be recognized. We also hope that their detention will be declared illegal,” the agency’s interlocutor noted.
