SOCHI, Russia -- An activist who has been monitoring environmental fallout from the Sochi Olympics has been jailed for five days for resisting police, apparently part of a continuing harassment campaign against local activists. Authentic Daryl Worley Jersey . Igor Kharchenko was grabbed on the street in the regional capital of Krasnodar late Tuesday afternoon as he left his house and found his car smashed, an associate, Olga Soldatova, said Wednesday. Police charged him with resisting police orders. Soldatova, who was with him at the police station, said Kharchenko was given a blank sheet of paper instead of a protocol sanctioning his detention. Kharchenko was put on trial behind closed doors Wednesday and sentenced to five days in jail for disobeying police orders. "They were leading Kharchenko out, and he told us he got 5 days, without a proper trial, lawyer or witnesses," said Soldatova, who was at the courthouse. Like Yevgeny Vitishko, who was jailed Monday for swearing in public, Kharchenko is a member of the Environmental Watch on the North Caucasus, a group that has been monitoring the environmental effects of Olympic construction. Activists have been raising concerns for months about an apparent campaign of intimidation and harassment of activists and journalists in the Sochi area. Human Rights Watch said the harassment campaign against the local activists does not deal with the problems that the activists have uncovered but only dampens Russias image abroad. "Vitishkos imprisonment on trumped-up charges, and his colleagues arbitrary detentions and vicious harassment, are more damaging to Russias Olympic host reputation than any criticism they could have voiced," the groups Russian co-ordinator, Tanya Lokshina, said in a statement Tuesday. Activists and opposition leaders in Moscow also have experienced harassment in recent years but authorities in the capital seem to be employing more sophisticated methods to silence them. Some have faced elaborate criminal investigations; others have been kicked out of their jobs. Tactics in Russian regions, including the Krasnodar region where Sochi is situated, seem to be more primitive and reminiscent of the harassment of Soviet dissidents. Vitishko, who is serving a suspended sentence for spray-painting the fence of what activists say is the illegal property of the local governor, was detained on the doorstep of a prison office on Monday after he applied for permission to travel to Sochi for the Games. In a trial that barely lasted 10 minutes, Vitishko was found guilty of swearing in public, a rarely enforced misdemeanour punishable by a fine of up to 15 days in jail. Other activists in the region have been cited on similar charges. Natalya Kalinovskaya, an activist in the village of Psou, which is adjacent to the Olympic park, had protested the destruction of the sandy beach in her village. She received a court order in February 2013 that barred her from going to the beach, which is public property. Svetlana Kravchenko, an investigative reporter in Sochi for the Caucasian Knot publication, was found guilty in 2012 of beating up a security guard, even though a medical examination documented only a 0.3 millimeter scratch on the guards ear.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Everyone knows how cozy the Seahawks are in Seattle. They found another place that feels like home, and its a pretty good choice considering what the Meadowlands will host in February. Seattle manhandled the New York Giants 23-0 Sunday for its sixth road win, holding the hosts to 181 yards. This is the best Seahawks road team in their history at 6-2; they are 6-0 at home. Should they return to New Jersey this season, it would be for the Super Bowl. "I do think thats advantageous to us," star cornerback Richard Sherman said after grabbing two of a career-worst five interceptions thrown by Eli Manning. "Anytime you are comfortable with a stadium and seen a locker room and the time zone change and the weather, it helps. You get in a routine, get a rapport with the place youre at." The Seahawks have quite a chance to be at MetLife Stadium again if they continue to perform the way they did against the overmatched Giants (5-9). "Just being human, you know about it," coach Pete Carroll said of the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold weather city. "Its not important now. When the time comes, if we put ourselves in position to do that ..." Marshawn Lynch scored on a twisting, triple-effort 2-yard run, Steven Hauschka kicked three field goals and Russell Wilson toyed with New Yorks defence. The second-year quarterback ran for 50 yards, threw for 206 and a touchdown before sitting out the last few minutes. Wilson has 23 wins, the most for a quarterback in his first two seasons in the Super Bowl era. "It does matter," Wilson said of the 23 victories. "Winning a lot of games is really important. Its what we come to do every day, to have a championship day, have a championship year." The Seahawks (12-2) are already in the playoffs and are closing in on the NFC West title and their best overall record; they went 13-3 in 2005 before losing to Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. New York (5-9) will be deep into its off-season by the Super Bowl with its first losing record since 2004. "It probably pretty much shows why were in this situation where we have only five wins and they are the top of the NFC and playing great football," said Manning, who has tied his career high with 25 interceptions. It waas Seattles first shutout since a 58-0 romp over Arizona on Dec. Womens Cam Newton Jersey. 9 last year. The Giants lost 38-0 to Carolina in Week 3. "Were not taking anything away from their defence," coach Tom Coughlin said. "Theyre No. 1 in the league for a reason, they are a good defensive team. "Theres no excuse for what went on out there. We kept turning the ball over, and put our defence back out there over and over and over again." Cornerback Byron Maxwell, who has stepped in so capably for Brandon Browner (groin injury), also got two picks. Earl Thomas had the other. The Giants lost top receiver Victor Cruz to a concussion in the fourth quarter. Cruz is 2 yards short of his third straight 1,000-yard season. Hauschka, who is clutch from long distance (14 for 15 from beyond 40 yards), made 49- and 44-yarders, plus a 24-yard field goal. Seattles top-ranked defence had New York off-kilter so badly that three of Mannings interceptions were into tight coverage. Maxwell and Sherman had clearer shots at the ball than Mannings intended receivers. "We wanted to make sure we affected the game," Sherman said. One interception came on a desperation pass to end the half and Thomas pick in the final period was off a deflection. Shermans first pick led to Lynchs brilliant short run for a 10-0 lead. Lynch seemed to be going down several times, but went into full Beast Mode to power into the end zone. Lynch actually was most effective as a receiver with six catches for 73 yards. He rushed for 47. Hauschkas 44-yarder made it 13-0 at halftime, then Sherman got his sixth interception of the season. Maxwells second pick led to Wilsons 12-yard TD pass to Doug Baldwin, the 17th touchdown New York has yielded off a turnover. NOTES: Wilson has 50 touchdown passes in his short pro career. ... Carroll, who was Jets head coach in 1994, suggested with a laugh that people forget the last game he was on the home side in the Meadowlands. ... The Giants were shut out in the first half for the second successive week. They gained only 54 yards in the opening two periods and didnt get into Seattle territory until halfway through the fourth quarter. ...
