Africans in Russia

To Russia now where a new report by the Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy or MPC reveals the extent of racist attacks against Africans in the capital.

But there's good news in that the number of assaults is down from their last survey in 2002; but still some 58 percent of interviewees said they had at one time or another been a victim.

Officially there are some ten thousand Africans in Moscow, many more are there illegally, many as economic migrants.

Sydney Ocran is a Liberian who has lived in Moscow for the past eleven years and he also works with the MPC.

The BBC's Rahat Mustafa asked him about the main findings of the report.
