Kathmandu, Nov. 25 -- An 18-year-old Russian street musician who was arrested for singing anti-war songs has been released from jail and fled the country, a source involved in the case told AFP on Monday.

Diana Loginova, a music student known by the stage name Naoko, was arrested last month and sentenced to three consecutive short-term jail sentences.

Her performances of songs by exiled Russian artists Monetochka and Noize MC in Saint Petersburg went viral.
