Prison Mistreatment

Kremlin-installed courts in Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine have sentenced three Ukrainian servicemen, including a human rights activist, to lengthy prison terms for allegedly mistreating civilians, Russian investigators said Friday.

A British corporate investigator imprisoned in China for nearly two years has said he was "harassed" for a confession, the BBC reported today, in a claim immediately denied by the Chinese foreign ministry.
