Russia Separates Teenage Artist From Her Father and Gives Her to Estranged Mother

A Russian teen known for her anti-war art was removed from her home and father after his political arrest and imprisonment.
The 13-year-old girl was placed in an orphanage and then given to her estranged mother, whom she had not lived with for years.
The girl's father had been sentenced to two years in prison for "discrediting the Russian armed forces" through his daughter's art.
The girl's transfer to her mother came just before a custody hearing and despite complaints over lack of access to verify the children's rights commissioner's claim the girl wanted to live with her mother.
The commissioner is facing an international arrest warrant for her role in deporting Ukrainian children to Russia.
