A court in Moscow on Wednesday handed a former state TV journalist a 8 1/2-year prison term in absentia for protesting Russia's war in Ukraine, the latest in a months-long crackdown against dissent that has intensified since Moscow's invasion 20 months ago. 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. His soldiers are fascists. 352 children have been killed (in Ukraine). How many more children need to die for you to stop?” Ovsyannikova, who until March 2022 worked at 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. In March, 2022 Ovsyannikova made international headlines after appearing behind the anchor of an evening Channel One news broadcast with a poster that said “Stop the war, don’t believe the propaganda, they are lying to you here.” She quit her job at the channel, was charged with disparaging the Russian military and fined 30,000 rubles ($270 at the time). Thousands of Russians have been fined and hundreds have faced criminal charges over publicly speaking out or protesting against the war in the last 20 months. The Kremlin has used legislation outlawing criticism of what it insists on calling a “special military operation” to target opposition figures, human rights activists and independent media. Top Kremlin critics have been handed lengthy prison terms, rights groups have been forced to shut down, independent news sites were blocked and independent journalists have left the country, fearing prosecution.

A Liverpool fan apologised to Jurgen Klopp after causing him to swear while he was signing a shirt. The manager was asked for his autograph during the club’s pre-season tour of Singapore while he was in a rush to get away. The moment took place after Liverpool’s defeat to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, with the Premier League side losing 4-3. Klopp was asked by a fan to sign a shirt when the team coach was leaving, and he replied: “Very quick yeah, I don't have the time actually.” However, the fan clearly wasn’t holding the shirt in the right way. After a pause, he then added: “And you have to hold the f***ing shirt properly.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The fan could then be heard apologising to Klopp before his finishing with the autograph. @mathewatics HAHAHAHAAH IM NEVER GNA FORGET THIS #jurgenklopp #festivaloffootball2023 #liverpoolfc #liverpoolbayern #liverpoolsingapore At least Liverpool fans know what to do if they ever want to ask him for a signature in the future… The club are currently finishing off their pre-season tour of Germany, with a game set to take place against Darmstadt on Monday (August 7) before the Premier League gets underway. Meanwhile, it was revealed earlier this year that Klopp enforced an unusual rule during his time as Liverpool manager which bans some of his own players from touching the famous Anfield sign. In his early days at the club Klopp imposed a rule that Liverpool stars could only do so once they had lifted a trophy. "I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something," he said at the start of his reign at Anfield,” he said at the time. “It's a sign of respect."
