4 Greenpeace Activists Granted Bail in Russia 
----------------------------------------------


 
A Russian court has granted bail to four activists detained in the
Greenpeace protest against Russian oil drilling in the Arctic. The four
are the first foreign members of the "Arctic 30" set for release since
their arrest two months ago. Overall, 28 activists and two journalists
are facing charges of "hooliganism," which carry up to seven years in
prison.
