From Pussy Riot to Greenpeace

Reality Check: Greenpeace activists charged with piracy, the parliamentary "Klub", a day in the life of a weapons inspector, sexual jihad, the TV debates

30 activists from the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise, are being held in Murmansk, charged with piracy. Theoretically, they could face up to 15 years in prison, but it seems unlikely the Russian courts would be so harsh on the international crew.

However, in the Russian courts, anything can happen, regardless of popular or international opinion, as was illustrated by the Pussy Riot case.
