After throwing him behind bars on groundless charges, #Russia has further violated #AndreyPivovarov’s rights by forcibly disappearing him. Pivarov and his family, are being punished for his peaceful criticism of the government. He had been executive director of the pro-democracy Open Russia Civic Movement. He was sentenced to four years in prison in July 2022, on charges of leading an “undesirable organization.”
