Russian court sentences 14 neo-Nazis to jail

None

A court in central Russia has sentenced a neo-Nazi leader to life in jail and imprisoned 13 others for four hate killings and multiple assaults.

 

The Tver city court said in a statement Tuesday that 22-year-old Dmitry Orlov led a cell of the Russian National Unity, a once-powerful organization that since 1990 has actively advocated white supremacy and Orthodox Christian fundamentalism. It says the other defendants, including three teenagers, received sentences of between 3 1/2 and 17 years. (AP)
