Today marks one month of Alsu's unjust detention in Russia. An American citizen, Alsu is imprisoned on absurd charges of not registering as a “foreign agent.” Alsu’s captors tell her they have notified the United States of her arrest but received no reaction. The U.S. State Department says Russian authorities have not yet responded to its request for consular access. Alsu has not been convicted; she is accused of a non-violent offense. Yet, she is held in pretrial detention only because she’s a U.S. citizen and an @RFERL journalist. Alsu is denied visits or phone calls with family members and is confined to a cold prison cell, sleeping with a bottle of warm water between her legs.
Alsu’s arrest represents the most egregious use of Russia’s “foreign agent” laws against a journalist. Her politically motivated detention has been condemned by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Poland, Sweden, the EU, the OSCE, and many international human rights and media freedom organizations. But Russia remains deaf to the numerous calls for Alsu’s release.
Alsu’s family misses her very much. She has never harmed a soul and is certainly no criminal. Alsu is a loving mother, a selfless friend, and a devoted enthusiast of her culture and language. Her imprisonment is wrongful, and she deserves to be released immediately. Let her return to her family. #FreeAlsu
