Talk about perverting the course of justice!

A Russian academic investigating the fate of ethnic Germans deported by Stalin during World War II has had his research seized by security services.

History professor Mikhail Suprun was briefly arrested in the far north of Russia last month, but the incident has only now come to light.

Prof Suprun told the BBC he has been ordered not to comment on the case.
