MOSCOW Six Greenpeace activists face a court hearing next week after they were briefly detained during a demonstration over massive oil leaks in Siberia, Greenpeace officials told AFP on Friday. Protesters unfurled a 15-20 meter (50-70 foot) banner over the fuel and Energy Ministry and called on ministers to force oil majors to plug their leaking pipelines in Russia's western Siberia region.
The six demonstrators are expected in court on Monday.
