We note all the defendants in criminal cases with Ukrainian citizenship. In some cases, a Ukrainian passport in itself is grounds for persecution. Several Ukrainian public figures are defendants in criminal cases.

Write to political prisoners
Total: 275

Use our form to send letters to political prisoners. Writing letters is one of the best ways you can support the ever-growing number of political prisoners in Russia. Letters help prisoners to maintain hope and resilience in hopeless situations. We created this letter-translating form, as Russian authorities do not allow letters in foreign languages.
