I really thought a leftist would enjoy a cell in Russia. Its their homeland after all.
Via Raw Story:
Russia on Thursday started issuing visas to foreign crew members of a Greenpeace protest ship and dropped the criminal case against the last member of the 30-strong team.
Italy’s Christian d’Alessandro was notified by investigators that the case against him had been dropped, Greenpeace said. Earlier this week, Russia closed the cases of the other 29 crew members of Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise ship under a Kremlin-backed amnesty.
Anthony Perrett from Britain was the first crew member to be given an exit visa, and happily showed off the document to journalists outside the offices of the Federal Migration Service.
“He will be able to go home before the New Year!” Greenpeace tweeted.
“More than 20 people from the Arctic Sunrise crew applied for visa documents,” a spokesman at the migration service said. But the spokesman said the service could not guarantee that all the activists would get home before the year-end.
