Скачать или смотреть Demo in Moscow over journalist sent to Uzbekistan

(3 Aug 2017) Dozens of people protested in Moscow on Thursday to demonstrate against the expulsion of journalist Ali Feruz.
A Russian court has ordered Novaya Gazeta reporter Ali Feruz to be deported to his native Uzbekistan, where he might face torture, the prominent Russian newspaper said Wednesday.
It said Feruz - the pen-name for Khudoberdy Nurmatov - is now in jail pending an appeal.
He was born in Russia but grew up in Uzbekistan
His supporters took turns in holding banners calling for the authorities to free Feruz, and spoke in his support.
One of the protesters was detained by police.
Back in 2008 Ali Feruz fled Uzbekistan after local police detained him, beat and tortured for two days.
If returned back to the country he faces a very high risk of torture again.
