Russian father convicted of drawing his daughter asks for death penalty: “My father’s heart bleeds every day”
Russian Aleksej Moskalev, who has been in prison since his daughter Masja (13) showed an anti-war drawing in class, has asked the judge to impose the death penalty on him. The single father can no longer live separately from his child. “I ask that the verdict be carried out as soon as possible, because my father’s heart bleeds every day,” he said in an emotional closing speech after the appeal was rejected.
