A Crimean Tatar leader was jailed for eight years by Russia on Monday over a rally against Moscows seizure of the region, in a trial branded a "sham" by rights activists.
Akhtem Chiygoz, a former deputy head of the Tatars' traditional decision-making assembly, the Mejlis, was arrested in 2015 over clashes at a rally that left two people dead in the run-up to Moscow's annexation of Crimea in March 2014.
