Swiss Greenpeacer: I'd do it all again
Marco Weber, who was jailed in Russia over an Arctic protest, said after returning to Switzerland that solitary confinement was "very hard" but that he did not regret joining the protest.
"It was quite hard to be isolated, just by myself. Not in the beginning, but after a few weeks it was quite tiring," Marco Weber told a news conference at Greenpeace's Zurich office on Tuesday, a day after his return to Switzerland.
Weber was one of 30 Greenpeace activists on board the Dutch-flagged ship Arctic Sunrise seized in September by Russian security forces over a protest at an offshore oil rig owned by state energy giant Gazprom.
The activists had faced lengthy prison terms before Moscow announced amnesties.
