Left-wing anti-war activist and punk musician from Yakutia (Sakha) Aikhal Ammosov avoided extradition to Russia and arrived safely in Germany.

Aikhal was detained in October last year in Kazakhstan at the request of Russia, where he fled with the support of the organization "Vyvozhuk". After spending 12 months in a Kazakh pre-trial detention center, he managed to avoid extradition thanks to the efforts of the Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights.

Activists of the BPL organization actively supported Aikhal in the fight for freedom. An important role was played by one of our members, who was part of the support group, as well as the help of the Foundation for Support of Left-Wing Political Prisoners, which ultimately allowed Aikhal to go to Germany.

We strongly oppose political repression for anti-war views or any other beliefs and call on you to support political prisoners. We also remind you that hundreds and thousands of left-wing political prisoners continue to be held in various prisons in Russia, as was our material on political prisoners.

A world in which there is a place for freedom and justice should not know prisons for dissenters!
