Arctic 30 journalist speaks of his ordeal in Russian jail

A freelance journalist who spent almost four months in a Russian prison alongside Greenpeace protestors has spoken of his ordeal to Daybreak.

Kieron Bryan was one of six Britons arrested by the Russian coastguard after they boarded their ship the Arctic Sunrise at the end of August.

"We were told on the day we were taken ashore, that we would only be on the shore for four hours and that we would be back on the ship the following day at the latest.

"We all went with one set of clothes. No one had any toiletries to keep their hygiene up. And as soon as we got the detention centre for two months we realised we were totally ill equipped."

Kieron said there was a "slim chance" he would be home on Christmas Eve but "it was more likely" he would return to Britain by the end of the week.
