A Greenpeace campaigner claims he was forced to live on bread and water while being held in a Russian prison because it didn't offer a vegetarian alternative.
Antony Perrett arrived home yesterday after spending two months in prisons in Murmansk and St Petersburg for trying to hang a climate change banner on an oil rig.
The former town councillor is one a group of environmental activists known as the Arctic 30 who were being held in Russia on hooliganism charges.
Since being released under a new amnesty law, the 33-year-old has revealed he refused to eat some of the food offered to him behind bars.
'All the prison food had low grade meat of unknown origin in it. I'm a vegetarian and I lost a lot of weight,' he said from his home in Newport, South Wales.

Thanks, I stole it from somebody.
I have run into these types of people overseas and they just can't seem to get it through their little skulls that going into another country and trying to interfere is just plain rude. Then they act all shocked when they end up being made uncomfortable by their actions.

I don’t believe this envirofascist one bit.
Most of the time he was in prison, it was during the the Nativity Fast, in which vegan is the usual order of the day in Orthodox Christian Russia.
If he can prove me wrong, I will gladly accept the correction. But I doubt he can do it!

Oh I know but he said he lost weight. I am a carnivore. I’ll be 60 in January. I’m 6 ft 2 in and 180 lb. I only eat bread to hold condiments to eat red meat.

It's too bad the Russians don't know how to make borscht.
Fantastic highly nutritional vegetarian dish.

Like many people, I’ve always loved bread. When I was a little kid I’d hear that: throw him in prison and feed him bread and water, and I’d think - that would be fine! Well, I’d like a wee bit o’butter too.

Prison isn’t supposed to be a resort. You can’t order food from a menu.

He should have asked to stay longer. Looks like he needs to lose another 40 pounds or so.

Is that sofa real leather or fake leather? Either way, a bad show for a PETA type.

“forced to live on bread and water
Total BS. Such a diet would constipate a person to death.”
Ummmn - rumor has it that Russian prison guards have develpoed a methodology to prevent obstructed colons.
