YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMedia outlets in Russia have to call the war against Ukraine a "special military operation." Journalists who try to resist face harsh consequences, including up to 15 years in prison under a new law.
Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at Channel One, interrupted a live broadcast on Russian state TV waving a placard reading: "No war, stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda, here they are lying to you, Russians against war."
She also pre-recorded a video message before her protest. "What is going on in Ukraine is a crime," she said. "Unfortunately, I've spent the last years working on Channel One and spreading Kremlin propaganda. And I am ashamed."
Her anti-war protest on the channel where she worked was only on air for seconds. Pavel Chikov, a Russian lawyer and human rights activist, said on Twitter Ovsyannikova was arrested moments later for "discrediting the Russian armed forces."
