Yabloko actions of writing letters to Russian political prisoners to be held nationwide
Press Release 22.02.2023
Photo: A response letter from Yuri Dmitriyev, imprisoned head of the Karelian branch of the Memorial human rights group to the activists of the Novgorod Yabloko: “There is such a thing called “peace” (when there is no war), and, whatever paradoxically it may sound, we must fight for it! And then the world (the Universe) will become better.
Yabloko actions of writing letters of support to Russian political prisoners, which have already become traditional, will be held at the central office of the Yabloko party and in the offices of its regional branches. This time we are going to pay special attention at our actions (which will take place in late February and early March) to women political prisoners. Yabloko is preparing a series of postcards with flowers, drawn by artists who are simply not indifferent to the fate of civil activists, journalists and politicians who are in trouble.
Everyone who would like to send a few kind words and wishes to those unjustly deprived of their liberty is invited to participate. Yabloko will help you deal with the intricacies of how to write letters so that they reach the addressees, and will also take care of sending letters by mail.
