Greenpeace: Russia to release seized ship

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Greenpeace International says Russian authorities have informed the activist group they will release the ship Arctic Sunrise, which has been held in Murmansk since it was seized during a protest against an offshore oil platform in September 2013.

Amsterdam-based Greenpeace said Friday it still believes the actions of Russian authorities in seizing the ship and arresting 30 people on board were against international law.
