Kyiv and journalism watchdogs have strongly condemned the sentence given to Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko by a Russian court after it convicted him of spying.
The Moscow City Court found Sushchenko guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 12 years in a strict-regime prison in a June 4 decision that Sushchenko’s lawyer, Mark Feigin, said was fabricated for political reasons and would be appealed.
