Russian State TV Protester Sentenced to 8.5 Years in Absentia

Marina Ovsyannikova, a former state journalist in Russia, has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison in absentia for spreading "false information" about the Russian army during her anti-war protest near the Kremlin. She gained international attention for holding up an anti-war sign during a live television broadcast in March 2022.
