Picture taken 21 March 2007 shows a prisoner in his cell at a prison in Mordovia penal Colony, 650 kilometres (400 miles) east of Moscow. In a vast prison complex created by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, a group of Nigerian inmates in improvised tribal dress beat drums and performed a dance for visiting journalists. The reason the foreigners are here is partly because the absence of extradition agreements with some countries has prevented them being deported, but also because some have chosen to stay, fearing a worse fate at home, such as execution, longer sentences or poor conditions, officials say.
