Greenpeace says it'll continue to fight for the release of 28 activists being held in Russia - including a man from Exeter.
It follows the news that the Russian authorities have dropped the piracy charges against them - they're now charged with 'hooliganism' which carries a maximum sentence of seven years.
Iain Rogers from Countess Wear is among the group who were detained while protesting near a Russian oil rig in the Arctic.
Meanwhile the Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw says he's shocked to hear that David Cameron has yet to raise the plight of the British captives with the Russian President, after a Foreign Office minister admitted that the Prime Minister had yet to intervene.
