Russian authorities have transferred Frank Hewetson and his twenty-nine Greenpeace activists from Murmansk to a St. Peterburg prison. This might seem like good news, however families and friends have yet to be in contact with the prisoners and the charge of environmental hooliganism carries a sentence of seven years.
This charge was leveled against the punk protest band PUSSY RIOT for performing in a Russian church.
Pussy Riot band member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova was recently transferred to a new penal colony in Siberia as punishment for her protests against prison conditions at her previous gulag.
I hope Frank and friends are okay.
Until then FREE THE ARCTIC 30 and PUSSY RIOT too.
