Today is #MaksymButkevych’s birthday, his third one in Russian captivity.
An antifascist, anarchist and human rights organizer, he was captured as a combatant defending his country from military invasion. His whereabouts were unknown up until 10 month later when a court in occupied Luhansk sentenced him to 13 years on fabricated charges. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/ukraine-maksym-butkevych-conviction-severodonetsk-luhansk/
Maksym is doing his time in a penitentiary—once a Ukrainian colony—in Krasnyi Luch, Luhanschina. He reads a lot and tries not to loose his French skills. I hope to see him out of prison as soon as possible—as well as all other captured Ukrainians, both combatants and non-combatans.
His story is widely known in Ukraine, but not so much in left or anarchist spaces outside the region. You can express support to him by including his story in the programme of your local event on the occasion of this year’s International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners in August. Also, comrades in Russian jurisdiction (like me) can send your kind words by letter.
Until all are free!
