Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new bill into law that threatens up to 15 years of jail term for propagating "fake news." The development has prompted global media houses to temporarily halt operations in Russia to safeguard their journalists. Several media organizations, including BBC, CBC, and Bloomberg News have said that their journalists will stop their work in the country.
