Russian authorities raided the home of intelligencer Marina Ovsyannikova for allegedly discrediting the country’s army.
Security officers entered the house without staying for the appearance of Ovsyannikova’s legal counsel, dpa news agency quoted counsel Dmitry Zakhvatov of the civil rights group OVD- Info as saying on Wednesday. Ovsyannikova, who has formerly had to pay several forfeitures for her review of Russia’s war on Ukraine, faces a long captivity judgment .
According to Zakhvatov, the house quests could be related to Ovsyannikova’s recent kick, where she held up a bill reading” Putin is a killer, his dogfaces fascists” in the centre of Moscow within sight of the Kremlin. Under the tightening of the law, acts that discredit the Russian fortified forces can be penalized with a captivity judgment of over to 15 times.
Ovsyannikova, as an hand of Russian state TV, had displayed a kick bill against the war in a live broadcast in March. It read” Stop the war. Do not believe the propaganda. You’re being prevaricated to then.”
The editor, who until also had been considered pious to the sanctioned line, entered worldwide recognition for this. After the action, she lived abroad for a while and reported for the German review Die Welt.
