She was an "artist" with an online presence. Why would she tamper with price tags instead of just publishing her anti-war slogans? I don't understand the reasoning for targeting the price tag of grocery store items. Is the price tag to blame for the war?

If she insisted on putting her message in grocery stores, why didn't she add her message without destroying the pricing system for the store? Strange story.

As I understand her motivation she wanted for simple people who don't use internet or don't know how to install VPN/Tor to see those slogans.

The "simple people" could see her slogans placed in the grocery store without removing or replacing price tags. Example: She could put a card with her slogan on the grocery store shelves next to the items being sold. I see no justification for her destroying the pricing system.

In any case that's not what the alleged crime is, she's charged with "spreading fake news about the army", a new law which was created after the start of the war.

If you are interested in her thoughts btw, you can read full translation of her "final word"-speech: https://en.zona.media/article/2023/11/16/yes-life

She is most likely an Israeli spy. This is not Russia-Ukraine war this a jew war to kill more white people. She deserves jail sentence for instigating it.
