THE brother of Shebbear freelance videographer Kieron Bryan, who has been charged with piracy by Russian state prosecutors during his role aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise, has created a Facebook page to 'Free Kieron'.

The crew of Arctic Sunrise protested against the Gazprom Arctic drilling platform Prirazlomnaya on September 18 and two activists tried to climb the side of the platform and hang a banner. A conviction for piracy carries with it a maximum 15 years in jail.
