The victims of a Russian man sentenced to 13 years in prison for a knife-wielding rampage through a Moscow synagogue that left eight people hurt have appealed against the verdict, one of their lawyers said Friday. "We have appealed to the Supreme Court," Vladim Klyuvgant told AFP. "We do not agree with the fact that the court (that sentenced Alexander Koptsev on Monday) did not uphold the charge of attempting to incite racial hatred."
