A Russian court has sentenced US-Russian journalist Alsu Kurmasheva to more than six years in prison for violating strict military censorship laws, a ruling her employer slammed as a "mockery of justice".
Kurmasheva, 47 was convicted on Friday in a secret trial that was not announced in advance -- the same day a separate Russian court sentenced US journalist Evan Gershkovich for 16 years on espionage charges.
