Russian Father Convicted and Sentenced to Jail After Daughter's Anti-War Art, Flees

A Russian court has convicted a single father, Alexei Moskalyov, over social media posts criticising the war in Ukraine and sentenced him to two years in prison. Moskalyov was indicted for a series of social media posts about Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine and referencing the “terrorist” regime in Moscow. His troubles started last spring after his 13-year-old daughter, Maria, drew an antiwar picture at school that depicted missiles flying over a Russian flag that said 'Glory to Ukraine'. The case has drawn international attention and has been criticised for violating freedom of speech and human rights.
