A Russian Coast guard officer is seen pointing a gun at a Greenpeace International activist as five activists attempt to climb the Prirazlomnaya.
Relatives of two Greenpeace activists detained with 28 others in Russia over an Arctic oil drilling protest have told of their heartbreak over their extended detention.
Tasmanian Colin Russell, 59, and Sydney resident Alex Harris, 27, are among the so-called Arctic 30 charged with piracy and hooliganism over a protest
against the oil drilling in September.
Russian authorities have announced they will apply for a three-month extension to their detention.
Mr Russell's daughter Maddy broke down on this morning as she spoke about not having her father back by Christmas during a support rally near the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
"We've had only one call in the whole 60 days since this happened," Ms Russell, 24, said.
