Russian poet, Artyom Kamardin, is serving his seven-year sentence for a public reading of his anti-war poem. His pre-existing health problems, including severe back pain and anxiety, have deteriorated in detention. He urgently needs healthcare that prison authorities are denying him. As he was prosecuted solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression, the authorities must release him immediately and unconditionally.
