"Violent Clashes Erupt as Russian Activist is Jailed, Sparking Mass Protests"

Russian riot police clashed with protesters in Bashkortostan after a rights activist, Fail Alsynov, was sentenced to four years in a penal colony for inciting ethnic hatred, a charge he denies. The demonstrations, near the border with Kazakhstan, resulted in injuries, arrests, and an investigation into "mass rioting" with potential 15-year prison sentences. Alsynov's supporters claim the charges are delayed revenge for his activism, and he intends to appeal the verdict. The activist has been critical of military mobilization and advocated for the preservation of the ethnic identity of the Bashkir people.

Azerbaijan Boycotts Weightlifting Championship in Armenia Over Flag Burning

Azerbaijan protested after its national flag was grabbed and burned during the opening ceremony of a weightlifting championship in Armenia, calling it a "barbaric act" and evidence of ethnic hatred and racism. Armenia rejected the criticism, saying the incident had been resolved quickly and without danger to competitors. The two countries have had hostile relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union and have fought two major wars over Nagorno-Karabakh.
