OVD-Info is an independent human rights defence and media group. We focus on the rights to freedom of assembly and expression but our work extends further. We work on the ground in Russia and globally aiming at putting an end to political persecution in Russia. For this purpose, we collect data and produce content about political repressions in Russia, coordinate legal aid to unjustly persecuted and work towards a systemic change in the human rights field.
OVD-Info is an independent media and human rights defense group focused on monitoring and combating repressions in Russia.
In the darkest hour for Russian civil society we are still defending human rights, focusing on the freedom of assembly and expression.
We gather data, provide legal aid to anti-war and other protesters, battle censorship, run awareness campaigns, and produce content illuminating the battle for human rights in Russia.
The Digest is your window into the dark world of the Kremlin’s war on human rights and civil society in Russia.
The Dissident Digest informs you through data, news and explainers. The newsletter is by no means all-encompassing but we strive to provide you with a snapshot of most important developments.
Most of what OVD-Info does–our 24 hour hotline for the persecuted, legal aid and exposing repression–is only possible thanks to donations. Thank you for supporting us! Together we can do more.
