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. • #russia #protest #police • https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-new... • Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
