International attention is being drawn to the plight of political prisoners across various countries, with a focus on Belarus, Iran, and Russia. In Belarus, over 1,500 political prisoners are reported to be held, with tens of thousands having endured detention and many subjected to torture, as highlighted by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who is urging the global community to keep Belarus' fight for freedom in the spotlight and to call for the release of these individuals with unbreakable courage and unity. Similarly, the situation in Iran is critical, with thousands of protesters arrested and some executed, prompting calls for international support against the executions. In Germany, Evgenia Kara-Murza is fighting for her husband Vladimir Kara-Murza's freedom from Putin's political prison. A significant session at the Bundestag was held in support of political prisoners, including Vladimir Kara-Murza, Jimmy Lai, Maria Kalesnikava, and others. The event saw a large turnout of MPs, human rights activists, and victims, with special thanks extended to German parliament members who showed support.
Thank you to the Bundestag members who hosted us in #Berlin today & all who joined. More must be done for political prisoners. They risked everything for freedom. Now we must now speak out for them. #FreeJimmyLai #FreeKaraMurza #MariaKolesnikova #NargesMohammadi #ThearySeng https://t.co/a1yXKi8jCM

Stand with the people of Iran in their fight for freedom. Thousands of protesters have been arrested. Some have already been executed. Many more are in danger. The world should not remain indifferent. #stopexecutionsiniran https://t.co/dh2Pwfht0a
Every political prisoner in #Belarus is a hostage of the regime. For each silenced voice, we must speak louder; for each detained individual, we must act bolder. Defeating oppression requires showing unbreakable courage & unity. I urge you to join us in calling for their release. https://t.co/hGZuYrlHXt
