Would it have been OK had she drawn an ‘anti-special-operation’ sketch?

Almost as bad as creating a Hillary meme in the USA.

Father of girl who drew anti-war art extradited to Russia

Out of control Russian totalitarianism, and some FReepers still defend Putin.

In a case that drew international outrage, the father of 13-year-old Maria Moskalyova was convicted of discrediting the Russian military and handed a two-year prison term, and his daughter was sent to the orphanage

According to his lawyer and supporters, Moskalyov’s troubles began after his daughter drew a picture at Yefremov school No 9 that depicted missiles flying over a Russian flag at a woman and child. The drawing also featured the words “No to war” and “Glory to Ukraine”.

The school called police, the girl was questioned, and Moskalyov was fined and eventually prosecuted and convicted over his social media posts.

This is what some Freepers want for the U.S. Simping for Putin has turned them from conservative to cryptocommunist.

[CodeToad]

So? Hundreds of billions of your taxpayer monies were sent to be money laundered for the democrats in Ukraine.

[devere]

He fled Russia for Belarus? Not too smart.

[Vigilanteman]

Kind of like fleeing New York for New Jersey, eh?

An American man Douglass Mackey is facing up to ten years in prison for a Hillary Meme. Are we any better?

The US is a. Orwellian dictatorship, under the thumb of a deranged, unelected pedophile Xiden. Only a delusional idiot believes the US is a beacon of freedom.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

iPad fail. It was supposed to read “an Orwellian Dictatorship”

LOL! ;D

[The Old Hoosier]

He wasn't arrested for his kid's art in school. Also, he'll win on appeal easily.

This is just whataboutism.

[foundedonpurpose]

Then there is the source AP, strong journalism skills are with this one.

[The Old Hoosier]

You make excuses for this BS?

Good thing the Daughter didn't post a Hillary Meme from "Children's Services" here, then Pop would have Real Trouble and the Daughter would be getting a Sex Change...

Whether she wanted it or not.

“Moskalyov was convicted over comments he himself had posted online about the war in Ukraine. But the investigation started after Masha, then 12, drew a picture last April showing Russian missiles raining down on a Ukrainian mother and child, prompting the head of her school to call the police.”

[Excerpt:]
Afraid to go to school the next day, Masha finally went after being persuaded by her father.
That day, Moskalev received a call from someone at the school, who told him that Masha had been taken by Federal Security Service (FSB) officers and that he needed to report to the school immediately.
"I got dressed and rushed there. I was met by FSB officers. I asked, 'Where's my daughter?' They responded that she was being interviewed in the next office over," Moskalev said, Meduza reported. "For three and a half hours, they told me that I'm raising my daughter incorrectly; they said they were going to take her from me and put me in jail."
