A Moscow court has imposed a three-and-a-half year prison sentence for the political activist Alexei Navalny - who'll end up serving about two and a half due to time served.
His case is one that has shaken Russia, and again revealed the authoritarian style of rule people live by under president Vladimir Putin - who Mr Navalny believes ordered the nerve agent attack which almost killed him last year.
He returned to Russia a few weeks ago and was immediately detained.
Our Worldwatch reporter, Max Towle, spoke to our correspondent in Moscow, Stuart Smith.
