Support for political prisoners.
Memorial

After the illegal and unjustified liquidation of the Memorial Human Rights Center, with the consent of its Council, our team continues the work of the Memorial Human Rights Center Support Program for Political Prisoners as an independent human rights project

On Russian Political Prisoners Day, October 30th, we are launching a campaign to raise 2.6 million roubles (€24,160) for those unjustly imprisoned.
