The Arctic 30 arrive at a marshaling yard close to St. Petersburg Ladozhskiy Station, aboard a railway prison wagon. The Arctic 30 are transferred to prison vans and taken to the city's detention centres.

The Arctic 30 (28 Greenpeace International activists and a freelance photographer and a freelance videographer) are currently detained by Russian authorities since they were arrested during a peaceful protest against oil drilling in the Arctic. The Arctic 30 were recently transferred from Murmansk to St. Petersburg. They have been refused bail and are still charged with both piracy and hooliganism.
