Relatives and supporters react after a Russian court sentences Yegor Balazeikin, a Russian 17-year-old charged with throwing Molotov cocktails at army recruitment offices in protest at Moscow's assault on Ukraine, to six years in a juvenile penal colony. "Whether he's in prison or not no longer matters because he is now free inside," his mother Tatiana tells AFP outside the court.
Dozens of military enlistment centres across Russia have been targeted in attempted arson attacks by anti-conflict protestors since Russia launched its full-scale military campaign against Ukraine last February. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
