This article is part of our partnership with OVD-Info, an NGO that monitors politically-motivated arrests in Russia.
Over April, May and June 2018, the OVD-Info telephone hotline was in use for 153 hours 11 minutes and 43 seconds. That’s the equivalent of talking nonstop for eight hours a day for 19 days. Behind these very significant figures lie arrests at demonstrations, searches, assaults and criminal prosecutions. Our lawyers provided advice over the phone and assistance in court. We have published a full report of our work over these three months.
