Russian anti-war activist arrested in Belarus over daughter's sketch.

TL;DR Summary
Belarusian authorities have detained a Russian fugitive, Alexei Moskalyov, who was sentenced to prison in Russia over his daughter's Ukraine-themed school drawing. Moskalyov had fled house arrest in Russia before a court handed him a two-year sentence in absentia for "discrediting" the Russian army. Last year, Moskalyov's now-13-year-old daughter, Maria, drew a sketch at school of missiles next to a Russian flag flying toward a woman and child standing by a Ukrainian flag. Memorial, the outlawed Russian rights group that won the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, has declared Moskalyov a political prisoner.
