Rare violent protests in Russia after anti-war activist jailed
Russians have clashed with riot police in a rare, large protest after an activist was sentenced to four-years in a penal colony.
Fail Alsynov appeared in court on Wednesday accused of making a racist comment in a speech against plans to mine gold in the central Bashkortostan region using migrant workers.
Despite temperatures of -20C (-4F), thousands gathered outside the courtroom in Baymak demanding his freedom after the sentence was passed down.
Videos shared on social media showed a bus and three heavy police trucks, alongside crowds of protesters who squared up to officers who were holding shields and wearing helmets.
