Russia: Arrests for buying life-saving drugs online

Authorities have banned some medicines that contain mood-altering substances, to prevent non-medical usage.

In Russia, more cases are being reported of people being arrested and charged for buying life-saving drugs on the internet.

Campaigners say medicines legally available in other countries are categorised as narcotics in Russia, making them illegal to buy.
