FREE SNIZHANA! Free Ukrainian civilian hostages!

Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the issue of Ukrainian civilians illegally detained by the Russian Federation.
According to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, around 16,000 people are considered missing and are held unlawfully in Russia. As confirmed by UN agencies and human rights organizations, these people are systematically subjected to torture and other forms of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Please watch the two-minute animation about Ukrainian citizen Snezhana Kozlova, who in April 2022 was separated from her twelve-year-old son at a Russian “filtration” checkpoint while leaving Mariupol. Her fate has remained unknown ever since. We kindly ask you to sign the petition, help spread the video, and support the People1st campaign’s demands to release all civilians detained as a result of Russia’s invasion.
Sincerely,
The APUS Project Team and the People1st campaign
