Russian journalist who staged on-air protest against Ukraine war handed prison sentence in absentia

05-10-2023 11:07

A court in Moscow handed a former state TV journalist an 8 1/2-year prison term in absentia for protesting Russia’s war in Ukraine, writes CBS NEWS.

Marina Ovsyannikova was charged with spreading false information about the Russian army, a criminal offense under a law adopted shortly after the Kremlin sent troops to Ukraine.

She held a picket in the Russian capital in July 2022, and held a poster that said (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is a killer.

Ovsyannikova, who until March 2022 worked for Russia’s state-run Channel One, was detained and placed under house arrest, but managed to escape to France with her daughter. Russian authorities put her on a wanted list and prosecuted and tried her in absentia.
