01/01/24: Bring Them Home – Day 7

It has been one week since I started this daily reminder about those prisoners — no, HOSTAGES — of conscience, both Russian and foreign, being held in Russian penal camps for alleged offenses that should not be labelled as “crimes.” From today, in order not to become so familiar as to risk being overlooked, these reminders will be issued weekly. This is not to imply that they are any less important — quite the contrary! Every week ... every day ... every minute that goes by is that much time stolen from the lives of these noble people and their families. We must keep up the pressure to bring them home.

“Their power resides in their words . . .”

Alexei Navalny, Russian: HOSTAGE (Penal Colony IK-3, Kharp, Siberia)
Evan Gershkovich, American: HOSTAGE (Lefortovo Prison, Moscow)
Paul Whelan, American/British/Irish/Canadian: HOSTAGE (Penal Colony IK-17, Mordovia, Russia)
Vladimir Kara-Murza, Dual Russian-British: HOSTAGE (Penal Colony IK-6, Omsk, Siberia)
Alsu Kurmasheva, Dual Russian-American: HOSTAGE (Remand Prison, Kazan, Russia)
Ksenia Fadeyeva, Russian: HOSTAGE
Lilia Chanysheva, Russian: HOSTAGE
Vadim Ostanin, Russian: HOSTAGE

Please . . . bring them home!
