Manchester Amnesty Weekly Action

Please do this action and make a difference.

In March last year we sent appeals on behalf of Yulia Tsvetkova, an artist and activist from Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Russian Far East.

The criminal court hearing against Yulia resumes on 22 February. She is facing up to six years in prison if convicted under the absurd charges of “production and dissemination of pornography” for posting online her body-positive drawings of the female body. 

Please take action and send an email
