A Protestant pastor became the first person to be deported under amended anti-terror laws in Russia, it was reported in March.

The laws, implemented in July 2016, introduced sanctions against ‘foreigners conducting missionary activity’.

Pastor Victor-Immanuel Mani, from India, was deported in February, thus separating him from his Russian wife and young child. He is appealing.
