London
Russia’s ambassa dor to the UK, Andrei Kelin, has said the treatment of Russian journalists in the UK is reason the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford has been expelled from the country.
In this interview with the BBC’s Andrew Marr, he insists the BBC correspondent will be allowed back into the country, where she has reported for years, once UK visas have been issued to Russian reporters.
Sarah Rainsford was told she’d been barred from Russia by the FSB security service in August and was labelled a ‘security threat’ – something she and the BBC deny.—Agencies
