I was there, at the “Empty Chairs” event in Sofiivska Square, put on, in whole or in part, by #PEN #Ukraine. At the end, two former prisoners took their seats. So many more journalists, writers, and artists remain imprisoned or worse. We must not abandon them.

A formerly imprisoned artist has taken her seat and is being interviewed by a journalist.
