Sometimes we write and write and wonder if it does any good. Here is a success story following the Write for Rights initiative last year. "One of the "Bolotnaya Three," Vladimir Akimenkov, was released as part of a general amnesty in Russia.
December 19, 2013
Amnesty members welcome this news, following a tremendous letter-writing campaign that extended across 80 countries. Also released as part of this general amnesty in Russia are two people who Amnesty had declared as "prisoners of conscience" (people held solely for their political beliefs): Leonid Koviazin and Nikolay Kavkazskii."
