Adventurers await appeal hearing in Russia deportation case

A Briton and an American who walked into Russia from Alaska and were sentenced to deportation are awaiting an appeal hearing in their case.

Karl Bushby, a former British paratrooper who is halfway through his attempt to complete a round-the-world walk, and his travel companion Dimitry Kieffer, were detained in the Far East region of Chukotka on April 1 and sentenced two weeks later for illegally crossing the border.
