How can I write letters to political prisoners in Russia?
Legal defense during an investigation and in court, sending packages with essentials and produce deliveries — these things really matter. However, one mustn't underestimate the value and meaning of providing prisoners with moral support. Isolation and uncertainty, psychological — and at times physical — pressure would break anyone's will. But we have it in our power to support inmates who have been put behind bars in Russian prisons for antiwar resistance.
Postcards and letters are thin, but very important threads that connect prisoners with the outside world. Written communication can help someone find out about what's happening beyond the prison walls, discuss exciting news and ideas, share stories and feelings, and even learn something new.
Is it possible to write letters in English? What should I write about in a letter? How do I send it, and how do I receive a response? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in these cards.
We will now post the addresses of inmates arrested for antiwar resistance on this channel, with the tag #writingletters

The prisoners in Eniseisk
Two months ago we wrote about 12 anti-war prisoners who were held in "the clink" (krytki) — the strictest prison regime there is. However, prisons are rapidly filling up with political prisoners. Currently, in Eniseisk prison alone there are no fewer than 7 prisoners, given long sentences for acts of protest and resistance to the Russian military machine.
In the following posts we report on the most northern high-security prison and the anti-war political prisoners who are currently held there.

❗️ The anarchist Ruslan Siddiqui could face a life sentence
On 30 May, new charges were brought against the anarchist Ruslan Siddiqui, who is accused of acts of sabotage against military infrastructure in Russia. He is now charged with "undertaking training with the intention of perpetrating acts of terrorism" (Article 205.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and of handling explosive substances for an "organised group" (Article 222.1, paragraph 4). He could now face a prison sentence of between 15 years to life.
Charges were previously brought against Ruslan Siddiqui under Articles covering acts of terrorism and the preparation of explosive substances, which could mean between 12 and 30 years in prison. But the Article on "terrorist training" envisages harsher punishment than the one on acts of terrorism — from 15 years to life. The Article is written in such a way that the security services can use it to add to their leading case. A defendant faces a longer sentence for "training" than for actually doing something. This Article was also used, for example, in the case of Roman Nasryev and Alexei Nuriev, who earlier this year received the record sentence for firebombing a military recruitment centre: 19 years’ imprisonment each.
Ruslan Siddiqui does not consider what he did — blowing up a section of railway underneath a goods train, and attacking a military aerodrome with drones — to be terrorism. He points out that his aim was to damage military infrastructure. He undertook his actions in such a way as to avoid harming anybody. The Article on "terrorist acts", one of the main definitions of which is that they intimidate people, does not apply.
For this reason, we believe that the Article on "terrorist training" also does not apply in Ruslan’s case.
As for handling explosive substances, here the phrase about an "organised group" raises questions. The investigating officers claim that the "organised criminal group" is the Central Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of Ukraine. But Ruslan insists that he planned and carried out his actions single-handedly. And the investigators themselves found that Siddiqui had prepared explosives at home, using ingredients that can be purchased legally: the most popular ones in Russia — triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and ammonal.
Solidarity zone is now collecting funds to pay for a lawyer for Ruslan Siddiqui. The lawyer is not only a specialist for defence in court, but also the only person who can visit a prisoner in pre-trial detention (SIZO) and be present during questioning by investigating officers. A lawyer is a vital defence against torture and other methods of intimidation. You can support the fundraiser via PayPal or using cryptocurrency.

"Remember, above all, that good will prevail in the end"
On the cards we publish excerpts from letters by Angel Nikolaev, which were shared with us by a friend he has corresponded with.
Angel Nikolaev is an anti-war activist from Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. He was arrested last summer for taking anti-war actions. Angel was accused of firebombing a military recruitment center; of defacing the letter "Z" on vehicles displaying pro-war symbols; of destroying a banner showing military stripes and the letter "Z"; and of "desecration" of the Russian flag and places of burial, as he defaced the letter "Z" on Russian flags that were placed alongside the graves of participants in the invasion of Ukraine.
On the 3rd of May, the Eastern District Military Court at Khabarovsk sentenced Angel Nikolaev to 15 years’ imprisonment. He will spend the first four years in prison, and the remainder of the sentence in a high-security prison camp. Nikolaev’s lawyer has lodged an appeal against this harsh sentence, and now Angel is waiting for the case to go to the Military Appeal Court.
Angel is currently at the pre-trial detention center (SIZO-1) at Khabarovsk, and would very much like to correspond with friends. Write to him, tell him about yourself, and send him warm words of support.

❗️ Rouslan Sidiki talks about his torture
TW: torture
The Solidarity zone team learned that Rouslan Sidiki had been tortured after his detention almost as soon as the independent lawyer began work. However, it was important to obtain documentary evidence of the mutilation that was observed when he entered the SIZO (pre-trial detention centre). Now, some months later, his lawyer Igor Popovsky has now managed obtain that document.
From the report on the medical investigation:
"Multiple infected exposed wounds on the scalp and both wrists. Injuries to soft tissues on the left side around the eye. Injuries to soft tissues, resolving spinal haematomas."
From the lawyer's interview with Rouslan Sidiki:
"A man who looked around 50 years old, wearing civilian clothing, began to say that if I did not immediately confess to causing the explosion, then they would take me out of the city and would frame me for attempted flight, so they would legally be allowed to shoot me, and that they would torture me first.
Once I had agreed to cooperate and give testimony, they asked me if I had any chronic illnesses. After I responded 'no', one of them hit me over the head and I fell to the floor.
There were no fewer than six people in the interrogation room at that moment.While I lay on the floor, they stepped on my hands and feet so that I couldn't move them, although I didn't offer any kind of resistance. They exposed part of my legs in the area of my ankles, and I felt that they were tying something to me [...] later one of them said to someone, 'Ring!'
From that moment an electric current was discharged through my body, making my muscles contract violently from the unbearable pain. I screamed and hit my head against the floor. One of them stood in front of me and was filming me on their telephone. Because I was screaming, they gagged my mouth [...] I cannot say exactly how long the torture lasted, as after a few electric shocks I was slipping out of consciousness, but I can say that it was unbearably painful.
In between the discharges, unidentified people asked me questions, and if my answer did not satisfy them, then they continued to shock me. [...] they asked if I was planning another explosion, and I answered that I was not, and after that they continued to torture me. I was already on the brink, and understood, that in order to stop them I would have to say at least something."
Rouslan Sidiki and his lawyer Igor Popovsky sent their reports about the crimes committed to the chair of the Investigative Committee, demanding "to bring to justice those individuals who inflicted upon R. K. Sidiki physical and moral abuse, threats, blackmail, and also torture, following his arrest, in order to force him to give testimony."
To recap, Rouslan Sidiki is an anarchist from Ryazan, and a citizen of Russia and Italy. He is charged with blowing up railways, drone attacks on the military aerodrome Dyagilevo, and also with preparation for another act of sabotage on the railways. Sidiki is charged under the articles on "acts of terrorism", "studying in order to carry out terrorist activity", and also with the use of explosive devices. Taking the charges together, the anarchist faces from 15 to 30 years or life imprisonment.
Rouslan does not consider his actions — the detonation of the rails under a goods train and the drone attack on the military aerodrome — to be acts of terrorism. He says that his aim was to damage military infrastructure. Sidiki acted in order to prevent harm to people.

Vladimir Central prison
Here we continue the story of the prisons in which political prisoners convicted of taking anti-war actions are serving their sentences.
The federal state institution T-2 of the Vladimir region directorate of the federal penitentiary service, better known as Vladimir Central, became famous not only because of the song by Mikhail Krug of the same name, but also thanks to its own history and political background. At some point it became, in the first place, a prison for those convicted of political offences. Well-known activists and human rights defenders were incarcerated in the “Central”. You can read about Vladimir Central’s history, its inmates’ suffering, and about the political prisoners confined there now, on the cards.
