They have been found guilty this morning.

Sentence is expected to be three years, still waiting to hear.

Makes me value the right to freedom of speech that we have here in the UK. A sad day for human rights in Russia.

My serious sde says this is yet another example of Putin showing his absolute power and then, well, I heard a bit on PM this evening, and 2 years seems lenient for their caterwauling grin
Sorry , I should take Human Rights more seriously and I do, but if you live in a totalitarian state, you will have a shrewd idea of what the consequences of such action will be. So there are more effective ways of making a protest.

merlot.

That's a shame. I get FV 80-B.B.C. News F.V.81-B.B.C. Parliament F.V.82- Sky News. F.V.-85 Russia Today News F.V.89-Aljazeera News.

R.T. Today can be a bit anti British but I check in as you get more world news sometimes, as with Aljazeera.

Putin is just a horrible man.

Apparently the celebs who got involved may have made things worse as Russia likes to show it is influenced by no outside forces. sad
