Greenpeace journalist Kieron Bryan discusses prison 'shock'
A Briton jailed in Russia after being arrested on a Greenpeace ship said his imprisonment was a "baptism of fire".
Video journalist Kieron Bryan and four other Britons arrested by Russian authorities were freed on bail on Friday after two months in detention.
Mr Bryan said he and the activists had laughed when a pre-trip briefing raised the possibility of piracy charges.
Greenpeace's John Sauven defended the decision to send the team to protest against drilling for oil in the Arctic.
