Tell the Ukrainian Government to Drop Prosecution of Peace Activist Yurii Sheliazhenko

(Reposted from: World BEYOND War.  August 7, 2023)

Yurii Sheliazhenko has been formally charged by the Ukrainian government with the crime of justifying Russian aggression. The evidence they provide is the statement “Peace Agenda for Ukraine and the World” authored by the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement (of which Yurii is the executive secretary), which explicitly condemns Russian aggression.

Please consider signing the petition sponsored by World BEYOND War asking Ukraine to drop the prosecution of Yurii.
