A Russian court has granted bail to the American captain of a Greenpeace ship that was used in a protest against Arctic oil drilling in which 30 people were detained.
Courts in the city of St Petersburg, where the 28 activists and two journalists were taken last week, have so far granted bail to 15 people.
Peter Willcox, 60, has been a Greenpeace activist for over 30 years and was the skipper of the Rainbow Warrior when it was blown up and sunk by the French secret service in 1985.
The court set his bail at 2 million roubles (€44,966).
Greenpeace has already posted bail for nine of those detained.
It said the 18 September protest was meant to draw attention to the impact of offshore Arctic drilling on the environment.
During the protest, some of the activists tried to scale an oil platform.
All 30 face seven years in jail if convicted on hooligan charges in a case that has fuelled Western criticism of President Vladimir Putin.
