   In arctic high society news those heroic greenpees adventurers continue to enjoy their posh stay at one of Murmansk’s finest hostelries.

   Greenpeace crew members detained in Russian jails for two months over their open-sea protest against Arctic oil drilling are “close to shock” over their conditions, a rights activist said Tuesday.

   Snip …

   The activists have complained of cold cells and a lack of suitable clothing and food, said Irina Paikacheva, the head of a state-connected regional prisoners’ rights watchdog.

   “Many of them are in a state close to shock,” she told AFP after visiting the prisoners. “They had never expected that they would face such consequences for their peaceful protest in a democratic state.”

   Snip …

   Several non-smoking activists also complain of being placed in cells with chain-smokers.

   Greenpeace spokesman Aaron Gray-Block said in e-mailed comments that several of the detained activists “need prescription medication”.

   “A number of others are taking over the counter medications such as paracetamol for problems such as mild arthritis and back pain,” he said.

   A young Finnish female activist is a vegan and unable to eat prison food, Paikacheva said, adding that prison officials had denied her request for vitamins to be delivered to her.

     “Oh! the Humanity!!”
     If I were a Russian armed guard, I would find all this “pathos” downright hilarious.

     The poor dears!

     By lack of suitable food do they mean tofu and lentils? Also there is the 2nd hand smoke risk to consider…

     ROFLMAO!!!

     But seriously, people this delusional belong in cells. Do not ever let them out on the streets, as they have proven themselves dangerous to both society and themselves. Remember James J Lee?

     That is definitely a good clip to study, if you want to understand how arctic ice melts, refreezes, and constantly moves about. One picture is worth a thousand words, and that clip has a thousand pictures.
