Moscow expels British reporter

When the Guardian’s Moscow correspondent Luke Harding tried to re-enter Moscow this weekend he found himself detained at the city’s airport and put on the next flight back to London.  His valid visa was annulled and his passport only returned to him when he was onboard the aircraft.  A border guard reportedly told him “For you Russia is closed.”  Harding had been in the UK finishing a book about Wikileaks co-authored with investigations editor David Leigh.
