Russia has dropped piracy charges against Greenpeace activists seized during a protest in the Arctic, local media reports.
The 30 men and women will now face the lesser charge of hooliganism, Itar-Tass quoted Vladimir Markin, the spokesman of the investigative committee, as saying.
The piracy charges could have carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, while a hooliganism conviction usually results in 15 days in jail or a fine.
Twenty-eight activists, a Russian photographer and a British video journalist have been held since armed Russian security services boarded their ship, the Arctic Sunrise, during a protest by a Gazprom-owned oil rig on September 18.
