Anastasia Pokatashkina
Anastasia Pokatashkina is a former political prisoner and CEO known for her activism and her work in the tech industry. She was arrested in April 2023 and sentenced to three years in a penal colony for making donations, amidst a crackdown on dissent in her home country. Despite a previous drug-related conviction in the early 2010s, her current imprisonment was primarily politically motivated. Her recent release from a harsh penal facility in Zarichye has drawn attention to the plight of political prisoners still incarcerated, such as Elena Lazarchik and Olga Mayorova, who have faced additional charges for disobedience while in custody.
