Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday signed into legislation a invoice introducing jail phrases of as much as 15 years for publishing “pretend” details about Russia’s actions overseas, as Moscow’s troops proceed their army operation in Ukraine.
The invoice, adopted by Russia’s parliament this week, units out jail phrases and fines for individuals who publish “knowingly false info” about actions overseas by Russian authorities businesses.
If the false info “precipitated severe penalties”, it’s punishable by up 15 years in jail.
The brand new invoice expands on a legislation handed earlier in March that permits for as much as 15 years in jail for publishing false details about the Russian military.
