Gaziz Davletbayev
Accused of terrorism for critical comments on social media
Story
The news of Gaziz’s detention and his placement in a pre-trial detention center became known in December 2023. A criminal case for publicly justifying terrorism was allegedly initiated against him in September of the same year due to a comment in a Telegram channel regarding Alexey Nuriev and Roman Nasryev, convicted for attempting to set fire to a military registration desk in the administration building of Bakal, Chelyabinsk region. He was sentenced to 2 years in a general regime colony. He has been deprived of freedom since August or September 2023, and is being held in a pre-trial detention center.
Write a letter
A letter is the simplest way to support a person in prison. It is read not only by the addressee: the administration sees that the person is remembered, and that protects.
- How to send By ordinary mail to the colony’s address or through the “FSIN-pismo” service (fsin-pismo.ru): it is paid but faster, and a reply can be prepaid. From abroad the easiest way is through projects supporting political prisoners, such as OVD-Info: they will tell you how to forward a letter.
- What to write about About yourself and what is happening around you: books, films, nature, life in your city. You can enclose a postcard or a photo. Write in Russian — letters in other languages are delayed or not delivered.
- What not to write about The case, the court and the investigation, politics and the war, other detainees. Letters are censored: such letters are simply not delivered and may do harm. Do not promise what you cannot deliver.
- How long to wait A letter takes from two weeks to two months. A reply does not always come — that does not mean the letter was not delivered.
