Horizontal initiative, which exposes the persecution of, and provides practical support to, those arrested for anti-war actions in Russia
Who are we?
We came together in the spring of 2022, to support those who took action to oppose Russian military aggression in Ukraine, but who were not aided by existing human rights organisations.
Our objectives are:
• establish and maintain contact with arrestees and their loved ones;
• find lawyers who we trust;
• arrange parcels or packages for prisoners;
• with the consent of those we support, share information about their cases and addresses for letters.

What are we doing?
Everyone deserves defence and solidarity. And we stand in solidarity with people who have taken a stand, in word and deed, against state violence. We are against the existence of prisons, states and wars — for self-organization, equality and the abolition of oppression.
At the same time, we are not prepared to support people who practice discrimination on national, gender, social or other grounds.
We would like to point out that we do not pay any fines or compensation for damage caused to the state. We also do not help people who voluntarily testify against others. Pleading guilty, or not guilty, is not a limiting factor.
Want to help?
We have no permanent source of funding, so your support is of critical importance to us. Please donate to our project, if you are in a position to do so.
Funds received via any of these channels are used solely for the needs and in the interests of those who are supported, or may be supported in future, by Solidarity zone.
Regardless of whether you are able to support Solidarity Zone financially, you can help us by reposting or otherwise circulating information about us.
