Two Canadians are among those facing prosecution after Russian investigators say they charged the entire crew of the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise with piracy for a protest at a Russian oil platform in the Arctic.
The crew includes Alexandre Paul of Montreal and Paul Ruzycki of Port Colborne, Ont., and the charge they both face can result in a 15-year prison term upon conviction.
Greenpeace denies any wrongdoing and describes the charges as absurd. The mother of one of the Canadians says they make no sense.
