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.

Bread and water IS the vegetarian alternative.

Two books/movies come to mind, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and The Life of Pi. Unless you’re traveling double first class, not a good idea to try to eat vegetarian.

I do respect Russia’s jail system. No coddling going on for crimes committed.

Would be wise to come to the realization that not all societies will cater to your special needs when run afowl of their laws.
