Several dozen journalists took to the streets of Saint Petersburg to demand the release of Denis Sinyakov, detained on piracy charges along with the crew of a Greenpeace ship after an Arctic oil drilling protest.
數十名記者走上聖彼得堡街頭，要求釋放丹尼斯．辛亞柯夫。在一場抗議北極石油鑽探行動後，他與一艘綠色和平船艦組員，被依海盜罪名拘捕。
During the protest in Russia’s second city, blindfolded photographers and other journalists held placards reading： "Who is next?" and "Photographer is not a pirate."
在俄國第二大城的抗議行動中，蒙住眼的攝影師與其他記者手持「下一個是誰？」與「攝影師不是海盜」的標語。
"We would like to show that we support our colleague," Alexander Koryakov, a photo editor with Kommersant broadsheet, told AFP.
「我們要展現支持同業的立場，」對開大報工商日報圖片編輯柯亞柯夫告訴法新社。
"Unlike in the West where society comes up in support of journalists, in our country there is no one to defend journalists." He put the turnout at some 60 people.
「不像在西方，社會會站出來力挺記者，在我們國家，沒有人會捍衛記者。」他估計聚集群眾約60人。
A former staff photographer for AFP and Reuters, Sinyakov was covering the Greenpeace protest for a Russian online site.
曾擔任法新社與路透攝影人員的辛亞柯夫，是為俄國一個網站報導綠色和平的抗爭新聞。
Sinyakov, along with the 29 crew members of Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise icebreaker, has been detained on piracy charges after several activists tried to scale a state oil rig last month.
辛亞柯夫與綠色和平「極地曙光」破冰船的29名工作人員，在上月數名行動人士試圖攀登上一座國營鑽油井後，依海盜罪指控遭到拘禁。
