Ahead of the April 7 meeting at the opening of the Hanover Fair between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Amnesty International Germany is calling on their supporters to sign a petition demanding the immediate and unconditional release of political prisoners Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev.

Amnesty International, which declared Khodorkovsky and Lebedev as prisoners of conscience in 2011, plans to cover Hanover’s subway stations, light rail, major intersections, and public places with posters bearing the slogan, “Human Rights Made in Russia” to raise awareness of Russia’s political prisoners ahead of the trade fair.

SIGN THE AMNESTY PETITION IN GERMAN OR ENGLISH HERE.
