BBC News - ***** Riot jail terms condemned as 'disproportionate'
Havent seen anything on here about this so I thought I would put up a thread. Pretty disgraceful verdict which has Putin and his old KGB cronies written all over it, I personally find this and other recent developments pretty alarming. In a year where we saw Putin hijack an election with bullying, routine arrests on the oppoisition and intimidation of journalists I have to wonder if Russia will slide back 30 years? Maybe im being a little dramatic but with the recent events you cant help but wonder where exactly Russia is headed?
