An Angolan court has convicted two Russian men of terrorism and spying. They were accused of plotting a coup and helping organise deadly demonstrations over fuel prices last year. Lev Lakshtanov received an eight-year prison sentence, while Igor Ratchin was sentenced to 11 years. Both men rejected the accusations, saying they had been in Angola for cultural and business activities.
