Canadian Greenpeace activist Alexandre Paul has no doubt what the worst moment was during his recent harrowing experience in Russia.

A Canadian Greenpeace activist who was detained in Russia this fall says he's glad to be back home.

It was hoped that two Canadian Greenpeace activists would return home by the weekend after Russia dropped charges against them following a protest outside an oil rig in the Arctic.

Tuesday's news from Russia is the latest headline to come just two months before the Sochi Games and many observers say it's a move to repair the country's much-criticized human rights record.

The sister of a Canadian activist facing charges in Russia says her family won't celebrate until her brother is back on Canadian soil.

The two Canadians who were among 30 people arrested in Russia following a Greenpeace protest in the Arctic now have been granted bail.

A Brazilian Greenpeace activist has left a Russian jail, the first of the 30 people arrested in a September protest to be freed on bail.

A Greenpeace spokesman says a Canadian activist who was among 30 arrested during a protest in September has been granted bail by a Russian court.

The Greenpeace activists being held in a Russian jail are being transferred to a different facility.

The families of two Greenpeace activists jailed for six weeks in Russia following a protest at a drilling rig in the high Arctic say it is time for the Harper government to exert some political pressure.
