This is the best summary I could come up with:
Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into the suspected poisoning of a Russian journalist who made headlines last year when she brandished an anti-Ukraine war slogan on state television.
Marina Ovsiannikova reportedly told police that she felt unwell when she opened the door to her Paris apartment Thursday and noticed a powder substance.
The international non-profit was instrumental in getting the 44-year-old journalist and her 12-year-old daughter out of Russia late last year, when she fled in fear for her life.
In 2022, Russia passed a law under which anyone it deems to have spread “false” information on the war in Ukraine can face up to 15 years in prison.
Among the most prominent dissidents jailed in Russia is opposition leader Alexey Navlany, whom a Russian court convicted of promoting “extremism,” extending his already-lengthy time in prison by 19 years.
Navalny spent five months in Germany recovering from a poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin — a claim Russian officials have always denied.
