Stand with victims of political repression

Every day, at least five people in Russia fall victim to political repression. Every week, new cases appear. Every month, we struggle to fund the lawyers who take on these long, punishing cases that can stretch on for years.

Independent legal aid is often the first and sometimes the only lifeline for someone facing politically motivated prosecution. A lawyer is not just a defender in court. They are a vital link to the outside world. They ensure prisoners are not forgotten, protect their rights in detention, keep families informed, and are often the first to act when a life or health is in danger.

Each month, we face the same fear that we will not have enough to cover essential legal costs. Legal aid is the most crucial and the most costly part of defending political prisoners.

We need your help to reach our minimum monthly goal of €3,000, enough to keep lawyers working, cases moving, and hope alive. Set up a monthly donation today to support legal aid for political prisoners.

Even a small contribution makes a real difference
