Behind the scenes of Madonna's gay propaganda trial

18:18 28/11/2012 We had been told prior to our arrival that the courtroom would be quite small and the battle for seats quite brutal. As it turned out, “small” meant about the size of a walk-in closet. As journalists began accumulating in the corridor of the building that looked remarkably like a space ship from an old sci-fi novel, the tension was palpable.

Bizarre ways the world continues to fail its children

Profile: opposition activist Sergei Udaltsov

18:32 22/10/2012 Sergei Udaltsov has been at the forefront of Russia’s opposition movement since before it gained popularity in December 2011.

In November 2011, Amnesty International reported that he had been arrested approximately 37 times. Since then, in light of the post-election protest movement that has taken Moscow by storm in the past year, the number of arrests has likely increased dramatically.
