Arctic Sunrise crewmembers will live in hotels after release on bail

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 19 (Interfax) - The Arctic Sunrise crewmembers freed on bail will be accommodated at St. Petersburg hotels, defense lawyer Alexander Changli told Interfax on Tuesday.

"Hotel accommodations were booked for them yesterday, where they will live pending the trial," he said.

All of them will have to turn up at the court's and investigators' orders, he also said.

"Disobedience may lead to detention, while the bail would go to the state. No problems will arise, I am sure," he said.

Courts in St. Petersburg freed ten members of the Arctic Sea vessel on bail. British activist Colin Russell's arrest was extended by three months.
