Protester killed in 'neo-Nazi' attack on eco-camp | Russia | Guardian Unlimited: "One eco-activist was killed and five others were seriously injured at the weekend when a gang of young men shouting nationalist slogans attacked an environmentalists' protest camp near to a Siberian nuclear processing plant.

About 15 young men in masks armed with baseball bats and iron bars swooped on the unsuspecting protesters as they slept in their tents near the Angarsk Electrolysis Chemical Plant at 5am on Saturday. Police said yesterday they had detained eight members of the gang who repeatedly beat protesters, attempted to burn their tents and stole some possessions before disappearing into the night."
