Gulagu.net Founder: "We Have Lost the Ground Beneath Our Feet"

Vladimir Osechkin, the founder of the Gulagu.net project, explained the reasons for the temporary suspension of the organization's activities aimed at assisting prisoners in Russian prisons. He stated that human rights defenders are finding it increasingly difficult to operate in the context of a crisis in international law, wars, and the diminishing attention of the global community. Osechkin specifically emphasized the loss of grounding and revealed the problems affecting the organization. The suspension of the organization's activities may exacerbate the already difficult circumstances for prisoners.
