Raising funds for young antifascist prisoners of Russia
Parents of two Chita antifascists, Lyubov Lizunova and Sasha Snezhkov, are raising funds to pay legal expenses for the appeal against the recent court sentence. Sasha’s mum is a single parent, she had suffered two strokes and cannot afford to cover the legal expenses. Lyubov’s parents have also been struggling to cover the costs of legal counselling the past two years, Russian cells of ABC were helping them previously.
Total sum is €4,400: Sasha needs €2,000 for legal expenses, Lyubov — €1,200. Both of them also need €600 each to cover the parcel expenses for the next 4 months.
This April, Lyubov was
sentenced to three and a half years of corrective penal colony, and Sasha’s—to six years of corrective penal colony.
In Oct 2022, the two were detained and charged with vandalism and “calls for terrorism and infringing territorial integrity” (the last one’s later changed to “calls for extremism”). Sasha has spent nearly all this time in a detention center. Lyubov, then a minor, remained on house arrest up until this April,
then put into custody. You can learn more about their case and their lives before it in this short film
