Description
A Russian military court has sentenced a playwright and a theatre director to six years in prison on charges of "justifying terrorism" in a play about women marrying jihadists in Syria. The judge sentenced director Yevgeniya Berkovich and writer Svetlana Petriychuk after moving their trial behind closed doors. The length of the sentence announced by the judge Monday was the same as requested by prosecutors last week and one year less than the maximum possible. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
