The BBC’s Moscow correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, was recently expelled from Russia, a country she first began visiting in her teens as a student and has reported on since the start of Vladimir Putin’s presidency.

Now she’s been barred for life, 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.
