Everyone has equal rights. It is important to regularly speak out about all political prisoners — irrespective of whether a person fought against the authoritarian regime and corruption, like Navalny, or whether, until theiry arrest, they led a normal private life. One should forget about no one, neither the opposition leader who in view of the entire world has been put behind bars, nor the former Yukos employee Aleksei Pichugin, who has been sitting in prison for almost 18 years. One should not, in the midst of the arbitrary rule that has seized Russia, leave people who need it without support, including those who aren’t “yours.”
