An American veteran is dying in an Indian prison.
Matthew VanDyke (@Matt_VanDyke)—founder of SOLI, who fought for freedom in Libya and Syria and supported Ukraine—has been on a hunger strike for 54 days in India's Tihar Prison.
He was arrested in March alongside six Ukrainians on charges of terrorism and drone-related offenses.
He suffered a leg injury in custody and has been denied proper medical care, medication, and contact with his family since mid-March.
It appears India is acting on russian allegations. A man who fought against dictatorships and stood with Ukraine is now behind bars.
This is not justice. It is political persecution.
If you're American, this cannot be ignored. Raise your voice. Contact your elected officials. Demand action from the U.S. government.
Share his story.
Free Matthew VanDyke.
Almost 1,000 people who read me are following @Matt_VanDyke .
He and six other Ukrainians have now been in Indian detention for almost two months.
After being arrested on what are most likely baseless charges, possibly linked to a russian request.
We can’t just stay silent.
Their lives and freedom may depend on the world paying attention.
Please read and share the quoted tweet.

🛡️ NIGHT VISION FUNDRAISER FOR PHANTOM STRIKE | RAROG BRIGADE 🛡️
The guys from Phantom Strike need night vision.
The original plan was to buy two new dual-tube systems, but after looking at the options we decided to go with two used dual night vision devices instead. The capability is the same, but the cost is significantly lower, which means we can get them what they need much faster.
🎯 Goal: €7,000
💰 Day 5 — Collected: €1,650
📊 Left to collect: €5,350

Most people never see what happens after dark.
The guys do.
Movement. Reconnaissance. Rotations. Approaching positions. Spotting threats before they spot you.
A huge part of the work happens at night, and the side that sees first usually has the advantage.
This is not comfort equipment. It is not a luxury.
It is the difference between moving blind and knowing what is waiting in front of you.
The guys already found a way to save thousands by choosing used dual-tube systems instead of new ones. Now we just need to get them purchased and into the field.
Every euro helps put more eyes in the dark and gives Phantom Strike a better chance to do their job and come home safely.
No donation is too small.
Thank you for supporting the guys. 🇺🇦
