Russia’s propaganda machine has openly mocked Brits sentenced to death on live broadcasts to millions of viewers.
Aiden Aslin, 28, and Shaun Pinner, 48, were last week convicted of taking action towards violent seizure of power at a show trial in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
They, along with Moroccan Sadun Brahim, 21, have been warned they face the death penalty, with a firing squad rumoured to be preparing to take their lives.
