Ms Buyanova denies making such comments and there is no audio or video recording to prove she made them. "Five-and-a-half years!" cried one of Ms Buyanova’s supporters in the public gallery. "She’s been sent to a penal colony for five-and-a-half years!""We didn’t expect this, even given what is happening today . Just a few words proved enough to put someone behind bars for such a long time."
