Russia bails Greenpeace doctor, photographer and activist

A court in St Petersburg has bailed three Russian nationals who were among 30 arrested during an Arctic protest.

Yekaterina Zaspa served as medical crew on the Greenpeace ship, while Denis Sinyakov is a photographer.

Activist Andrey Allakhverdov also was granted bail late on Monday, according to Greenpeace.

A separate court has extended the pre-trial detention of an Australian activist, Colin Russell, for a further three months.
