Hasidic Jews Celebrate New Year In Ukraine
Hasidic Jews from around the world transformed the central Ukrainian city of Uman into a giant street party to mark Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The festive mood was marred by an explosion which injured two Israeli pilgrims on September 21. The reason for the blast was not immediately clear. Followers of the Breslov Hasidic movement come to Uman every year to pray at the grave of the movement's founder, Reb Nachman, who died there in 1810. (RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service)

Verdict due in Crimean journalist's "separatism trial:
By the Crimean Desk of RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service
Russia-installed judges at a court in Ukraine's occupied Crimea Peninsula are due to issue a verdict in a trial against Mykola Semena, an RFE/RL contributor who is facing what he says is a politically motivated separatism charge.
Prosecutors at the trial in the Crimean capital, Simferopol, are seeking a three-year suspended sentence for the 66-year-old Semena, meaning he would be imprisoned if he violates terms of a ruling against him.
The charge stems from an article he wrote for RFE/RL's Krym.Realii (Crimea Realities) website in 2015.
Semena contends that the accusation is baseless and politically motivated and that Russian authorities have based the case on an inaccurate Russian translation of his original Ukrainian text.
Activists say Semena's trial is part of a systemic Russian clampdown on independent media and dissent in Crimea since Moscow's armed occupation and takeover of the peninsula in 2014.
