Father of 'anti-war' girl arrested on run in Minsk


A man sentenced to jail in Russia after his daughter drew an "anti-war" picture has been caught in Belarus, after seemingly fleeing the country. Alexei Moskalev was given a two-year jail sentence in absentia on Tuesday for discrediting the army. 
 He came to the attention of authorities last year - after, he said, a school reported the drawing to police. 
 A lawyer said he was probably caught in Minsk after switching on his mobile phone, which revealed his location.
