TL;DR Summary

A Russian girl who was sent to an orphanage after drawing an antiwar sketch at school has been taken home by her mother. The girl's father was convicted of discrediting the Russian military and handed a two-year prison term, while her mother had long been separated from her husband and child. The father fled house arrest just before his sentencing hearing last week and was detained in Belarus two days later. The case has drawn international outrage and has been declared as a political prisoner by Memorial, one of Russia's oldest and most prominent rights groups.
