On August 4 from 18:00 to 21:00, a letter-writing evening for Russian political prisoners will take place in Oulu, Finland

Political prisoners are isolated, with very limited contact with the outside world. Letters remind them that their struggle matters — that beyond the prison walls, there are people who remember, support, and respect them.

Participants will gather in a conference room with a large communal table. You’ll have three hours to write, so if you arrive late, no worries — you can join at any time.

Bring your Finnish- and English-speaking friends — the cards with stories of political prisoners will be available in three languages.

You’ll also have the opportunity to write a letter to artist Anastasia Dyudyaeva, whose exhibition will soon open in Helsinki.

The organizers have taken care of everything: paper, envelopes, drinks, and snacks will be provided.

📍We’ll be waiting for you at Karjasillan kirjasto (library), address: Leevi Madetojan katu 1, Oulu.

If a library card is requested at the entrance, call the organizer: Maksim Aliev, +358 40 4718292

Freedom to all political prisoners! 🕊
