Riot police disperse protesters in the town in Russia’s central Bashkortostan region, after a court sentenced a local activist to four years in prison. Fail Alsynov, who campaigns against gold mining in the Urals region and advocates for the protection of the large ethnic Bashkir population’s language, was sentenced for ‘inciting hatred’.
