ESTABLISHED IN 2017

Charitable Foundation «PLATFORM FOR THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS»

The PLATFORM was created on the initiative of 16 political prisoners of the Kremlin, who were imprisoned for their pro-Ukrainian position and struggled against the Russian regime (during the hybrid phase of the war in 2014-2019). They were released as part of several large exchanges in 2019 and 2020.

Since 2017, the Foundation has been participating in:
• in the process of development of the Ukrainian human rights movement;
• advocacy of human rights ideas, international standards of human rights and fundamental freedoms;
• the formation of objective information space and the spread of the Ukrainian narrative in the EU member states about the Russian-Ukrainian war, its value, political, economic and social consequences.
