TL;DR

Belarus has extradited a Russian man, Alexei Moskalyov, who was sentenced to two years in prison for "discrediting" the Russian army after his daughter drew anti-war pictures at school. Moskalyov's daughter was placed in a children's shelter after his arrest. The case was criticized by Russian human rights groups and led to an online campaign to reunite father and daughter. Moskalyov is likely to spend the next two years in a Russian jail and is at risk of losing parental rights in a separate trial.
