Rally in support of political prisoners
Moscow, Novopushkinsky Square, 19:00.
The action was agreed by the Moscow City Hall.
Rallies against repressions are held annually on October 30, on the day of the political prisoner.
The appeal of the organizers
The events of the last days associated with the abduction in Kiev and the torture of Leonid Razvozzhaev , with a delusional message about his voluntary turnout with a guilty and the content of the “recognition” we were led by him, gave political repressions a new quality.
The Russian government rejected attempts to maintain even the illusion of the rule of law in the persecution of its opponents, passed to the methods of open terrorist dictatorship, impudently violating the norms of Russian and international law.
But this is not the beginning and, alas, not the end of the campaign of political repression, which was worshiped over the past year.
In Smolensk, a member of another Russia, Taisiya Osipova , was convicted of drug trafficking;
Since March, Daniil Konstantinov , the leader of the Moscow Defense League, has been in a pre -trial detention center;
On false charges of mass riots , Vladimir Akimenkov, Andrei Barabanov, Fedor Bakhov, Yaroslav Belousov, Stepan Zimin, Nikolai Kavkazsky, Leonid Kovyazin, Mikhail Kosenko, Sergey Krivov, Denis Lutkevich, Alexei Polikhovich, Artem Savelov, Konstantin Lebedev are in custody;
On false charges of violence against the representative of the authorities, Maxim Kalinichenko in custody in St. Petersburg, Grigory Torbeev in a colony in the Ryazan region;
In the colonies of false accusations, activists of "another Russia" Olga Shalin, Igor Berezyuk, Kirill UNCHUK and Ruslan Khubaev ;
Convicted for inappropriate behavior in the temple , Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina , went to the colony.
Subjected to political criminal prosecution:
In Moscow - the victims of the "Swamp business" Oleg Arkhipenkov, Maria Baronova, Alexander Kamensky, Richard Sobolev, Alexander Dukhanin and Anastasia Rybachenko , members of "another Russia" Tatyana Kharlamova, Olga Komarova, Evgeny Donets, Mikhail Klyazhev, Alena Goryacheva , participant in solidarity Stanislav Pozdnyakov and politician Konstantin Krylov ;
In St. Petersburg, members of "Figress Russia" Andrei Dmitriev, Andrey Pesotsky, Igor Boykov, Alexander Yashin and another 8 people,
In Nizhny Novgorod - anti -fascists Pavel Krivonosov, Artem Bystrov, Albert Gainutdinov ,
In Ulyanovsk - the leader of the left front Sergey Udaltsov ,
In Kirov - one of the leaders of protest Alexei Navalny ,
In Tyumen - an activist of the protest movement Nikolai Lambin ,
In the Krasnodar Territory - Ecologists Evgeny Vitishko and Suren Gazaryan .
And this is far from complete geography and not a complete list of victims of political repressions of only the last year.
Prisoners of Yukos Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Platon Lebedev, Alexei Pichugin , trade union activist Valentin Urusov , physicist Valentin Danilov and other "old" political prisoners remain behind bars.
Since the beginning of the 2000s on October 30, officially called today "the day of the memory of the victims of political repression", has become what it was originally in 1974 - "the day of the political prisoner."
On October 30, 2012, there should be many of us! Do not come is to silently approve of what is happening.
Political prisoners need our solidarity! And even more, the manifestation of solidarity needs us ourselves. So that the line does not reach any of us, so that we and our children live in Russia without political prisoners.
The organizers of the rally: the Committee on May 6, the Union of Solidarity with the political prisoners, the MHG, the NSC, the PC "Memorial".
