Санкт-Петербургский городской суд признал «экстремистским материалом» книгу зампреда партии «Яблоко» Бориса Вишневского «Хроники возрождённого Арканара». Экспертиза усмотрела призывы к насилию во фразе о том, что Россия должна «вернуться в цивилизованный мир».

“Met de oorlog in Oekraïne is de macht van Poetin absoluut geworden. In het begin werd een groot aantal wetten aangenomen waarmee in feite iedereen in Rusland monddood is gemaakt. Zelfs de oorlog een oorlog noemen is een misdaad. De propaganda is overal.”
De Russische dissident Vladimir Kara-Moerza werd tot 25 jaar cel veroordeeld. ‘In eenzame opsluiting beginnen gekte en realiteit samen op te trekken’

“I wish Vladimir Putin a long life and very good health. I want to see his face when he’s sitting in that dock in The Hague. I want him to spend as many years in prison as possible, to be held accountable for all the horrendous crimes he has committed.”

Honoured to participate in the inaugural meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arbitrary Detention and Hostage Affairs. Long past time to change UK policy of “non-involvement” — all those unjustly imprisoned by dictatorial regimes deserve solidarity and support from democratic nations.

Honoured to speak at the Berlin Freedom Conference about the plight of political prisoners in Putin’s Russia and the urgency of international advocacy to secure their release. The free world must stand in solidarity with those who oppose war and dictatorship at the cost of their own freedom.

Honoured to receive the Wallenberg Medal from the University of Michigan.

I accept it not only for myself, but on behalf of all political prisoners in Russia. And the monetary part of the award will go the 30 October Foundation that provides financial support to the families of political prisoners.

Провели традиционный круглый стол ко Дню политзаключённого вместе с Сахаровским центром и «Мемориалом». Это разговор о тех, кто не захотел молчать и оказался в российской тюрьме за свои убеждения — и о том, как им можно помочь.
