BBC's Russia reporter expelled and barred for life from country - BBC News

The BBC's Moscow correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, was recently expelled from Russia, a country she first began visiting in her teens as a student.

She has reported on the country since the start of Vladimir Putin's presidency, but has now been barred for life and declared a 'security threat'.

The move comes during an unprecedented assault on rights and freedoms in Russia, where critics of the Kremlin are increasingly being labelled as hostile 'agents' of the West.
