On Saturday, May 30, participants in the Russian Strategy-30 initiative held solitary pickets in Moscow in support of Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian political prisoners, for whom being in a Russian prison became extremely dangerous due to COVID-19 pandemic. They unfurled posters with the words: “Stop the rink of political repression,” “Protect political prisoners while they are alive,” “Terrorists without terrorist attacks,” “During a pandemic, any sentence in the Russian Federation is mortal.” The corresponding photo report cia their Facebook page was published by the protesters.
"It was not without “adventures”: “vigilant citizens” called a police squad, valiant police responded with lightning speed (if they were so speedy in case of real crimes). Fortunately, there were no protocols”,- the activist noted.
