The leader of a Russian opposition party has been sentenced in Moscow today as protests against the trial continue
Opposition Leader and Kremiln Critic Alexei Navalny will serve two years in gaol on charges of fraud. This comes after days of protests outside the court protesting the charges which opposition figures have said are politically motivated.
In a fiery speech before his sentencing Mr Navalny accused Russian President Validmir Putin of attempting to intimidating his critics and mocked the Russian leader over allegations the Novichok nerve agent used to poison him had been placed in his underwear.
