Journalist Marina Ovsiannikova became internationally famous after holding up a sign with the text “NO WAR” during a live broadcast on state Russian television. She was then sentenced to a fine of approximately SEK 5,000.
Since then, she has protested several times, most recently on Thursday in a Russian court.
Marina Ovsiannikova is in custody after a protest opposite the Kremlin that allegedly took place in July, when she had a placard with the text “Putin is a murderer, his soldiers are fascists”. For the action, she is now charged with spreading false information about the Russian army and risks up to 10 years in prison.
During Thursday’s court proceedings, she again protested against the war, when she held up a note to the cameras of the world press that read: “May the dead children haunt you in your dreams.”
