Russian artist Alexandra Skochilenko has been jailed for seven years on charges of knowingly spreading false information about the Russian army. She was also banned from using the internet for the next three years. Skochilenko's supporters condemned the verdict as a mockery of justice. The case is part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Russia, with nearly 20,000 detentions and over 800 criminal cases related to the war in Ukraine.
