$We write letters to Russia\u2019s political prisoners$

Hundreds have been unlawfully imprisoned by the Russian authorities for opposing the war and dictatorship.
Join us to write letters to Russia’s political prisoners and support them.
30 March 2025, 5pm-8pm
Prince Alfred, London W2 3RR
No knowledge of Russian is required to participate in the event.
All necessary guidance and assistance with the letters will be provided.
Why do we write letters? In the words of Maria Ponomarenko, sentenced to six years in prison for anti-war posts:
I’ve already explained it multiple times that the letters are highly valuable to all of us who are unjustly imprisoned. But I’m ready to repeat it again and again, even 1000 times!
Your letters inspire us, give us strength and confidence that there will be a dawn and the changes are inevitable.
Your letters serve as a support - solid ground beneath our feet.
Your letters are uplifting and help distract us from the unpleasant realities of the Russian penitentiary system.
Write letters to political prisoners! Write, even in the absence of feedback!
The letters are also very important because they demonstrate to the authorities and other inmates that the political prisoner has support outside the prison and is not alone. That we have not been abandoned and have not been forgotten!
