Police in Russia's western region of Tula have arrested the father of a girl who last year drew an anti-war picture at school. Opposition politician Marina Litvinovich said on March 1 that Aleksei Moskalyov was arrested over his own anti-war posts online and charged with discrediting Russia's armed forces. Moskalyov has been under pressure after his daughter Maria, a sixth-grader, drew a picture in an art class in December calling for peace in Ukraine. At one point, the girl was temporarily sent to an orphanage before being returned to her father. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
