Vladimir Putin signs bills punishing those who insult the state, post 'fake news'
A bill passed by the Russian parliament earlier this month introduces fines for publishing materials showing disrespect to the state, its symbols or government organs. Repeat offenders could face a 15-day jail sentence.
Another bill envisages blocking anyone who publishes"fake news" online that is perceived to threaten public health and security. It gives those who publish such information a day to correct or remove it. If they fail to do so, prosecutors will move to block them. Putin has signed both bills, according to information posted Monday on the government portal of legal information.
