Wish a Happy Birthday to Political Prisoner and Anarchist Ilya Shakursky!
On April 10th, anarchist Ilya Shakursky celebrates his birthday. He turns 29, 7.5 of which he has already spent in prison.
Ilya is one of the defendants in the “Network case,” in which the FSB fabricated an entire terrorist organization just to earn stars on their epaulets. In 2020, a Putin-controlled court sentenced Shakursky to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.
Despite the long sentence, Ilya does not give up. He continues to publish articles, essays, and poems. Last year, his book “Notes from the Darkness” was released in Russian language (link).
💌✊ Ilya is now spending his eighth birthday behind bars. You can support him with a letter or a greeting card.
