“It seems to me that in the period of post-war regulation, a mandatory part of this process should be the release of political prisoners, because these people in Russia are behind bars for their only crime – disobeying the Russian government. Of course they all have to be released. But there are a number of Russian political prisoners who may not survive until the end of the war because they are kept in life-threatening conditions.”

The wife of Kremlin oppositionist Vladimir Kara-Murza emphasizes that many political prisoners suffer from various diseases that threaten their lives.

My husband has survived two poisonings and has polyneuropathy, he is losing sensation in his limbs. Even according to Russian law, a person with such a diagnosis does not have to be in prison. But he is not only in prison, but also in conditions where his condition is deteriorating.”

She continues: “Yegor Balazhekin, a 17-year-old teenager who was recently sentenced to six years in prison for a failed attempt to set fire to the military commissariat with a Molotov cocktail. He is 17 years old. The boy has chronic liver disease. His condition worsened dramatically behind bars. I believe that all tools should be used to save these people.”
