A third Russian activist has been released from prison after serving six years in the high-profile Set (Network) case, which rights defenders and opposition activities have called "fabricated."
Saturday 2 September was an international day of solidarity demanding the release of Azat Miftakhov, a mathematician and anarchist anti-fascist activist who is spending his fifth year in prison in Russia. He is accused of setting fire to an office of the ruling United Russia party in 2018. He is due to be released soon, having completed his sentence. However, he has just been declared a "terrorist" and therefore runs the risk of remaining imprisoned under any other pretext, especially as the wave of repression is now affecting the left opposed to the Kremlin.
