Aleksei Moskalyov, a Russian father convicted over anti-war comments on social media in a ruling that put his custody of his 13-year-old daughter in jeopardy, was detained in Belarus after fleeing house arrest, his lawyer said Thursday.
Aleksei Zakhvatov, the lawyer for Moskalyov, said in a statement on Telegram, a social messaging application, that his client was detained Wednesday with the help of the Belarusian KGB, the main security agency in the country. Belarus is a close ally of Russia.
