Russian TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova has fled the country – Lawyer

Marina Ovsyannikova, a former Russian television journalist who protested the invasion of Ukraine during a live broadcast, has departed the country after being placed on a wanted list, according to her lawyer.

“Ovsyannikova and her daughter left Russia a few hours after departing from the address where she was under house arrest,” Dmitry Zakhvatov was quoted as saying. “They are in Europe now.”

“They are fine. They are waiting until they can talk publicly, but for now, it is not safe,” he said.

Two weeks ago, reports emerged that Ovsyannikova had fled house arrest. She had been held at her home for two months and faced a 10-year sentence for allegedly spreading fake news.
