Let’s support those who are still in captivity. Yabloko invites all to the actions of writing letters to political prisoners
Press Release, 21.08.2024
Yabloko in Moscow and the Russian regions is holding another action of writing letters to political prisoners. After a historic prisoners exchange between several countries, as a result of which those to whom we wrote letters to pretrial detention centre and penal colonies where they were kept, and about whom we worried all these months and recent years, were released. Among them are Vladimir Kara-Murza, Ilya Yashin, Oleg Orlov, Andrei Pivovarov, Liliya Chanysheva, Ksenia Fadeyeva, Sasha Skochilenko, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Kevin Lik.
Meanwhile, right now, hundreds of people who have been prosecuted for their free speech are in prison. They need our support.
Anyone can take part in the actions of writing letters to political prisoners. Those unable to come to the party office, can send letters to political prisoners independently using our instructions.
The actions will be held in Yabloko’s regional branches all over Russia from 22 August through to 7 September. The list of the regional branches, addresses and dates are published here.
