Also, we are working with the prisoners rights group Russia Behind Bars to help us in our efforts to insure the women’s safety and well-being in the camps, they are temporarily holding a recently transferred US$6,000 balance pending confirmation of most pressing support needs locally in Mordovia and Perm.

Again, we thank you all who have helped here. Our focus will continue to be to support advocacy efforts to secure Nadia and Masha’s freedom, care for their children, and working to insure their safety and well being while in the camps though representative visitation, clothing and necessary supplies. We feel lucky to be doing what we can to support these brave women and we thank you for your efforts to do so as well.
