Facing piracy charges

MOSCOW, October 7 (Alexey Eremenko, RIA Novosti) – Environmentalist group Greenpeace said Monday that it may file an international lawsuit against Russia to seek the release of activists it says are being kept under inhumane prison conditions.

The group says the activists are being prevented from opening the windows to their cells and being denied privacy through invasive monitoring, including in the toilet.
