Russian artist Alexandra Skochilenko, who spread messages calling for an end to the war in Ukraine, was jailed for seven years on Thursday.
Skochilenko was banned from using the internet for the next three years in addition to the seven-year prison term. A state prosecutor had asked for her to be jailed for eight years.
Her supporters repeatedly chanted "Disgrace, Disgrace!" after the verdict as a smiling Skochilenko made a heart shape with her hands as she stood in the courtroom cage which was ringed by police officers.
