On February 8, Danil Chertykov turns 32 years old. He is celebrating his birthday in captivity for 4th time.

Three years ago six anarchists and antifascists from the Russian regions of the Urals and Western Siberia were jailed after secret services accused them of forming a "terrorist organization" and planning attacks against government agencies. All of them were brutally tortured. In Russia, this trial is known as the "Tyumen Case" — after the city of Tyumen, where the first arrest took place.
For over a year now, the trial in the Tyumen case has been moving through the Central District Military Court in Yekaterinburg. The defendants—anarchists and anti-fascists—were detained in 2022 and subjected to brutal torture. Since then, there have been 30 court hearings. Each one is a step in a long fight to protect the lives and futures of people who dared to resist.
In June, we managed to raise 48,000 rubles (about 500 euros). Thank you to everyone who contributed—your solidarity keeps this going.

Nick dreams of becoming a surgeon, and studied at Surgut University, but dropped out because of the inability of the university to organize the educational process, because of bureaucratic delays and imperfections of the education system, which he could not put up with.

In September, Yura Neznamov had to fight for his health and medical care. A neoplasm appeared on his leg. Later it turned out to be a small benign tumor. All complaints about his health were ignored by the doctors of SIZO-1 in Tyumen (where the defendants in the "Tyumen case" are kept). The lawyer wrote a large number of complaints and obtained medical care for Yura.
