The parents of a British journalist detained in Russia while covering a Greenpeace protest have told Sky News they have endured a "very difficult time".

Andy and Ann Bryan attended a silent demonstration outside the Russian embassy in London demanding the release of their son Kieron, who could face the prospect of years in jail.

because it's not like this is a situation of their sons own making

Annoys me how they knowingly carry out an illegal protest and then make a big fuss and "demand" to be released because they can't deal with the consequences of their actions, they should have known the Russian government would not have taken this lightly but they think that just because their cause is a valid one it should give them a green light to break the law and be immune from prosecution
