Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who attracted the attention of the world public when she displayed a banner against the war in Ukraine in a live program, has been arrested again.

Russian security services raided the journalist's home, where her young daughter was at that time.

"At 06:00, 10 police officers of the Investigative Committee and the police entered my house.

They issued a search warrant.

My little girl is scared.

Now they are sending me to SC.

The reason for the criminal case is allegedly my protest in the Kremlin," she wrote on Twitter.

В 6.00 утра ко мне в дом вломились 10 employees из СК и полиции.

Предёявили одер на обыск.

They scared the little daughter.

Нахай меня везут в СК.

Поводом для калиного дела якобы о файках стал мой протест у Кремля.

Свыше 350 детей, гибигших в Украине, разве это фейки?

According to Dmitry Zakhvatov, a lawyer assisting Ovsyannikova, Russian security forces pounded on the door of her home without waiting for her legal representative to arrive.

Zakhvatov said that Ovsyannikova.

Zakhvatov said Russian authorities had opened criminal proceedings on charges of spreading false information about the country's armed forces under a new law passed by the Kremlin after the war.

She now faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

Ovsyannikova drew international attention in March when she walked into a Russian state television broadcast with a banner against the war in Ukraine.

She was then arrested and fined 30,000 rubles (about 250 euros at the time).

After the fine, Ovsyannikova left Russia and got a job at the German newspaper "Die Welt".

She then returned to Russia, where she is fighting for custody of her daughter.
