Who is imprisoned now

2,155 people imprisoned

People currently held in prison colonies and pre-trial detention centres in political, anti-war and religious cases. The database is broader — it also covers those already released, under house arrest or outside Russia: the full list.

This list follows people’s actual situation, not formal recognition. Those recognised as political prisoners by human rights organisations are a separate, only partly overlapping set.
