Olena Smirnova
Freelance journalist
(Luhansk region)
Within the framework of the Ukrainian-Lithuanian project works on the topic:
“Protecting the rights of people affected by the war: residents of the occupied territories, residents of settlements near the war zone, volunteers, veterans, former political prisoners and their families, internally displaced persons”
“I want to give an international voice to the problem and draw the maximum attention of the European people, including its human rights structures, to the development of mechanisms of pressure on the aggressor country, whose policy led to the occupation of Ukraine and caused these problems. And to identify problems in the process of reintegration of released prisoners of conscience and call on state and public structures to solve these problems.”
