Two Siberian imams sentenced for extremism
I thought Siberia was the sentence...
Two imams in the city of Novosibirsk in western Siberia have received suspended sentences for spreading extremist views. The court on May 27 sentenced university professor Ilkhom Merazhov and Imam Komil Odilov to one year in jail each.

The two went on trial in February after being charged with propagating the ideas of the Turkish cleric Said Nursi, the founder of the banned Nurcular movement. The movement was banned in Russia in 2007. Officials say it aspires to create an Islamic state on lands where indigenous peoples speak Turkic languages.

Merazhov and Odilov pleaded not guilty, and promised to appeal the sentence.
