Case of Azat Miftakhov

Today, Friday, March 21, Azat turns 32. This is his sixth birthday in prison. To mark this occasion, Azat has written a public message to all those who support him. This is the first time he has written a public message. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2025/03/21/let…

The American Mathematical Society Committee on the Human Rights of Mathematicians has asked the U.S. State Department to have Azat Mifthakov included in any future prisoner swap with Russia. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2024/09/09/the…

We welcome the release of Russian political prisoners. Unfortunately, Russian mathematician and political prisoner Azat Miftakhov was not included in this exchange. We call for his release and hope his situation will be considered in future exchanges. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2024/08/01/aza…

Nikita Uvarov, a teenager from Kansk, was arrested first by the FSB in June 2020 at the age 14 for posting flyers in support of Azat Miftakhov on the wall of a local FSB office. He is currently being held in a temporary detention center. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/11/15/kan…

The European Court for Human Rights is holding Russia responsible for torturing Azat after his initial arrest in 2019. The court ordered the Russian government to pay Azat 26,000 euros in compensation. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/09/15/the…

An international day of solidarity to demand Azat's release with rallies in many cities around the world took place on Sep 2, with strong participation from the international mathematical community. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/09/04/str…

On Sep 4, Azat was arrested by FSB agents immediately on his release from the correctional colony in Omutninsk. The new case against him manufactured by the FSB is an outrageous travesty. Azat must be freed immediately. The math community stands with him. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/09/04/aza…

International Solidarity Day with Azat Miftakhov: Saturday, September 2, 2023 Azat supporters are holding an international day of solidarity to demand his release on Saturday, September 2, 2023, with rallies in many cities around the world.

FBS agents tried to interrogate Azat Miftakhov in relation to the new “incitement to terrorism” charge, which seems to rely on comments he allegedly made to other prisoners while watching a TV program. This seems aimed at preventing his release on Sep 4. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/08/30/aza…

Azat is scheduled to be released from prison in 10 days. Russian authorities have allegedly opened a new case against him for “incitement to terrorism”, which can carry a prison term of 5 years. We condemn the new charge and demand that he be freed. caseazatmiftakhov.org/2023/08/25/a-n…
