The action of writing letters to political prisoners is a traditional monthly event at which anyone can write a letter or sign a postcard to people deprived of their freedom for their beliefs. Yabloko holds this event not only in Moscow but in many other cities across the country. We invite everyone to join and are publishing the schedule of events in Moscow and Russian regions.

It should be noted that we correspond only with those political prisoners who have been deprived of their liberty for politically motivated reasons — on account of their beliefs, statements, or peaceful civic, journalistic, creative, human rights, or political activity — provided they have not committed or incited violent crime.

These instructions will help you send a few words of support to those who need them. At Yabloko’s central party office (Moscow, Pyatnitskaya 31/2 ), postcards and a letter box are located on the ground floor and are accessible to all during office hours. To obtain a postcard at your regional branch or to find out the date of the next action in support of political prisoners, please get in touch with us.

The actions will be held in Yabloko’s regional branches all over Russia from 22 July through to 31 July. The addresses of our regional branches and dates are published here and will be updated.
