For a long time I have not been writing. I have been imposed a tight ring, as they fear my words more than bullets.
Well, we both have been extended the term of imprisonment until August (exactly a year since the arrest).
Now I understand and know their plans: we will be held in jail until the trial at the end of 2015, and then a circus trial will take place - given the judgment, and a whole bunch of the articles hung, they will give us from 10 to 15 years.

Who supports me? On the one hand, V. Shalamov, on the other – A. Solzhenitsyn.

On February 23 Dinara registered the Institute for Peace and Democracy in the Netherlands.
Now our IPD led by Yunus (!) will continue to work in partnership with the leading human rights organizations in the world...
Arif, my dear! We've been together for 37 years. It is very hard without you… But we have already found our place in history...
Your Leyla.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life.
