In case you were unaware of the story of this unfortunate pair I'll give you a quick rundown. Back in September Martin and Ivan were on the Greek island of Lemnos, located in the the northern Aegean, they were tasked with taking pictures and doing research of the area for the development of the game Arma III. Research that included taking photographs of the island and it's surroundings, which apparently included a Greek military base... which just so happens to be illegal as it threatens Greek national security.
So suffice to say their release is good news, however the only real qualm I have about this situation is that the two have been released on bail, meaning they have to go back to attend their trial once the judicial system in Greece stops being on strike. Stranger still is that their bail was a meager five thousand euros... an incredibly small price to pay for the freedom of two men that had been accused of espionage.
