Marina Ovsyannikova: 'Interrogators didn't believe TV protest was my idea'
During Monday evening's main evening news programme on Russia's state-controlled Channel 1 TV, an editor at the station, Marina Ovsyannikova, was detained after she ran on to the set holding a sign in Russian and English saying "no war".
Speaking to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Caroline Davies, Ovsyannikova explains that her interrogators could not believe the protest was all her own idea and that she needed a break from being a "cog in the Russian propaganda machine".
Ovsyannikova was fined and is still under investigation.
