The two environment activists, who were arrested from the Pyhäjoki Fenno-voima nuclear power plant construction site on Friday were released on Saturday, police said.
 
According to Oulu police, another activist was fined for opposing official authority.
 
Opponents to the nuclear power plant on Friday began a protest week against the power plant.
 
They also announced to organize a Remembrance Day on Tuesday in com-memoration of the Chernobyl accident. 
 
Dozens of supporters from Finland and abroad are expected to participate in the commemoration programme.
 
The aims for the protest activities are a symbolic takeover and cessation of the construction activities through non-violent group action. 
 
The police will interfere with the demonstrations, if activists prevent work or block the streets, police sources said.
