RUSSIA’S ACTION AGAINST FAKE NEWS SPREADERS

(The Quiver) : Russia to stop circulation of fake news against it , has passed a law in Russian parliament. The law imposes a jail term of upto 15 years against persons who intentionally spread “fake ” news about Russian Military and circulations of war information over the Conflict of Ukraine.

Russian officials have repeatedly said that false information has been spread by Russia’s enemies such as the United States and its Western European allies in an attempt to sow discord among the Russian people.

Russia has repeatedly complained that Western media organisations offer a partial – and often anti-Russian – view of the world while failing to hold their own leaders to account for foreign wars such as Iraq and corruption.
