TL;DR Summary

A Russian court has delayed the custody decision for a father whose 13-year-old daughter drew an antiwar picture in class. The father, Alexei Moskalyov, was arrested and prosecuted for antiwar posts on social media under tough new laws prohibiting criticism of the military. As a result of his arrest, his daughter was placed in an orphanage. The case has generated a storm of attention, raising questions about whether the authorities have gone overboard. A young activist was detained for holding up a nearly identical picture outside the courthouse. The Moskalyov case is one in an avalanche of criminal cases against political activists, journalists, and Russian citizens who have criticized the government and the war in Ukraine.
