Exeter Greenpeace maritime engineer Iain Rogers is finally out from behind bars in the Russian city of St Petersburg.
The 37-year-old has been detained for more than two months in a Russian jail for his involvement in a Greenpeace protest in the Arctic.
He was granted bail at a court hearing in the city yesterday and has been in a detention centre until now.
It is understood his bail conditions are restricting him to the city of St Petersburg and he will be staying in a hotel.
He was the fifth British environmental activist to be granted bail.
Video journalist Kieron Bryan and Alex Harris, both from Devon, were also granted bail this week.
They are part of a 30-strong group charged with piracy and hooliganism following the peaceful protest against one of Russia's largest oil companies, Gazprom, which was about to start drilling in the sea when their ship, the Arctic Sunrise was boarded by armed members of the Russian coast guard.
The group has been behind bars since September 18.
Iain's mum Sue Turner yesterday welcomed the news of her son's bail but said she is still very worried.
"This is good news as he and the others will have more freedom and be able to phone home now," she said. "But I'm still very worried as the charges still stand."
The activists granted bail were held in a detention centre until Greenpeace transferred all the bail money at £38,000 per person.
"Greenpeace has been absolutely brilliant," she added.
It is unclear as to why the radio operator of the Arctic Sunrise, Colin Russell from Australia has been denied bail by the Russian authorities.
