I can only hope that after being arrested I can still spread #love like #AlexandraSkotschilenko did.

Her story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandra_Skochilenko

On 16 November 2023 she was sentenced, in a St. #Petersburg court, to seven years of imprisonment for replacing supermarket price tags with #antiwar slogans in 2022. In her final statement to the #court, before the verdict was announced, she told the presiding judge: "Your honour, you have a unique opportunity to show an example to society with your verdict ... You can show how to resolve conflict with the help of words and compassion."

Anyone who thinks that Russia is an evil #autocracy should know that even in the West, people who tell horrible truths are locked away, like Julian #Assange.
