Support for Yurii Sheliazhenko: Legal Defense and Family Assistance
We call for urgent financial support for Yurii Sheliazhenko — a human rights defender, pacifist, and conscientious objector facing unlawful detention and prosecution for his peaceful beliefs.
His case is both a fundamental rights issue and a matter of immediate survival. Legal defense requires sustained professional support, while his family is facing serious financial hardship as a direct consequence of his persecution.
We urgently need to raise €20,000.
The funds will be used to cover:
- legal fees and full legal defense at all stages
- preparation of legal documents, appeals, and international complaints
- essential support for his family, including housing, food, and medical needs
- compensation for lost income
- security and protection-related expenses
Every contribution helps defend freedom of conscience and the right to live according to one’s beliefs without fear of punishment.
Supporting Yurii means defending the principle that no one should be persecuted for peaceful convictions.
If we raise more than the required amount, the additional funds will be used exclusively for continued legal defense, urgent family support, and protection-related needs connected to this case.
Please support this urgent appeal.
