We welcome the release of Russian political prisoners. Unfortunately, Russian mathematician and political prisoner Azat Miftakhov was not included in this exchange. We call for his release and hope his situation will be considered in future exchanges.

Nikita Uvarov, a teenager from Kansk, was arrested first by the FSB in June 2020 at the age 14 for posting flyers in support of Azat Miftakhov on the wall of a local FSB office. He is currently being held in a temporary detention center.

On Sep 4, Azat was arrested by FSB agents immediately on his release from the correctional colony in Omutninsk. The new case against him manufactured by the FSB is an outrageous travesty.
Azat must be freed immediately.
The math community stands with him. https://t.co/pERU4jnwUp
International Solidarity Day with Azat Miftakhov: Saturday, September 2, 2023 Azat supporters are holding an international day of solidarity to demand his release on Saturday, September 2, 2023, with rallies in many cities around the world.
FBS agents tried to interrogate Azat Miftakhov in relation to the new “incitement to terrorism” charge, which seems to rely on comments he allegedly made to other prisoners while watching a TV program.
This seems aimed at preventing his release on Sep 4.

Azat is scheduled to be released from prison in 10 days. Russian authorities have allegedly opened a new case against him for “incitement to terrorism”, which can carry a prison term of 5 years.
We condemn the new charge and demand that he be freed.
