MOSCOW — Authorities in Belarus have backed off a threat to seize custody of the 3-year-old son of an imprisoned opposition leader, ruling that the boy’s grandmother was fit to take care of him.

The boy, Danil Sannikov, has been in the care of his grandmother since his parents were arrested along with more than 600 others for participating in a largely peaceful protest against the victory of President Aleksandr Lukashenko in apparently fraudulent elections last month. Lukashenko was inaugurated Friday.
