The Exeter Greenpeace activist and his fellow detainees in Russia are still facing charges of piracy.
Iain Rogers from Countess Wear and the other protesters have been in custody since mid-September for demonstrating in the Arctic against oil drilling.
The Russian authorities said last week that the charge of piracy against them was being replaced with a lesser charge of hooliganism - but in fact the original charge has not been lifted.
They're also being transferred from their detention centre in Murmansk to a prison in St Petersburg.
