The sentence was passed by a court in the city of Brest in south-western Belarus on the Polish border.

Russian Marya Khrestina, 26, was charged with consumption and smuggling of drugs and found guilty.

According to reports, the 1.14g cannabis stash was found in her hand luggage on board a flight to Poland.

Local authorities were suspicious because Khrestina also had a number of clothing items with the image of a marijuana leaf on them.

After carrying out tests, doctors found cannabis traces in her blood and urine.

Local media said that there is a chance that Khrestina and her lawyers will appeal the verdict to reduce her sentence.

Cannabis is illegal in the eastern European country of Belarus.

That includes the production and use of the drug.

In recent years it has become even more strict with a law coming into effect in December 2016 meaning the cultivation of cannabis was also banned.

Marya Khrestina has 161,000 followers on Instagram and regularly posts snaps of her wearing figure-hugging clothing.
