Website Description
OVD-Info is not just a website, but a living support system for those affected by political persecution in Russia. There is no idle chatter here, only real help to those who have come under attack from law enforcement agencies. Who are they? Ordinary people who spoke out, came to a rally, wrote a post, or simply happened to be nearby at the right time. And now they are being judged for being honest.
What does OVD-Info do?
The project works like a bayonet against the system of repression. He helps - for free. Lawyers, lawyers, legal support, consulting, document preparation. No hidden fees, no agreements. Only help. If you are detained, call immediately: 8 800 7070528. This is not advertising, this is salvation. As long as you haven't said anything without a lawyer, you haven't lost your chance yet.
And then other things come. Support for prisoners. They collect things, food, medicine. They send letters through the News service - there are already more than 14 thousand such letters. People inside prisons get at least some contact with the world. This is important. Very important. When you were taken away, when the door closed, you were alone. But here they tell you: we remember. We are with you.
We work not for glory, but for justice
They are campaigning. Against harsh laws, against arbitrariness. They write appeals to government agencies - more than 148 thousand times. They do everything to ensure that the system ceases to be invisible. To be seen. They need people to understand: no, this cannot continue. That every day in Russia someone is arrested for words, for views, for simply being where he should not be. And OVD-Info is like the voice of those who are silent.
Reading the news means knowing what is happening. In Kaliningrad, the activist was sent to a mental hospital immediately after leaving the institution. In the Chelyabinsk region - again a pre-trial detention center. In Moscow, the charges against the former dispatcher were increased. For the phrase about Bastrykin’s family. Yes, this sounds absurd. But this is exactly how the system works - it builds a case for any reason. And that’s when OVD-Info comes to the rescue. They take on such things. Without fear. Without looking back.
Figures that are shocking
Currently, 3,895 people are being prosecuted in politically motivated cases. Of these, almost 1,700 are in prison. These are not numbers from statistics. These are people with names, with stories. With parents, with children. And the project helps them with everything - from legal assistance to raising money for treatment.
For example, Igor Baryshnikov had an operation that was postponed for six months. Because there were other priorities. And here is support. The Woodpecker service is also part of this system. It allows people to report violations. Don't just complain. And to act.
Why is this important?
Why? Because if today you can say: I am against war, I am for people’s rights, then tomorrow they can take you. And no one will come. No one will say: everything will be fine. But here - yes. Here they say: we are nearby. We will help. Even if you're afraid. Even if it seems to you that you are alone. You are not alone. There is OVD-Info.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I or my loved ones may be persecuted?
Write down the OVD-Info number - 8 800 7070528. It is better to connect a legal bot. If anything happens, write to us immediately. The main thing is do not say anything without a lawyer and do not touch unfamiliar things.
Is it possible to help the project?
Of course you can. Support is needed constantly. You can donate money in any way - rubles, euros, dollars. You can also become a volunteer or write a letter to prisoners through the News service.
What are the results of the work of OVD-Info?
More than 14 thousand letters have already been sent to political prisoners. More than 148 thousand appeals were sent to government agencies. Lawyers from the project are defending 100 defendants in criminal cases, including 20 people from the Baymak case. Russia must also pay a million rubles according to the decision of the ECHR after a campaign of complaints.
What is the Baymak case?
This is a criminal case related to a group of people who allegedly participated in preparing protests against the war. The defendants received sentences of up to 5.5 years in prison. Lawyers from OVD-Info are already working to protect these people.
