Russian couple Dmitry and Olga Prokazov have been threatened with having their children taken into care after footage featuring their baby was posted online.

A criminal case has also been opened against them.

The move has shocked many in Russia, where there’s already controversy about more than a dozen people facing prison sentences for taking part in opposition protests in recent weeks.
