About Daria
PERSECUTED for defending Indigenous RIGHTS
Daria Egereva is a Selkup Indigenous activist and human rights defender from western Siberia who has advocated for Indigenous rights in international forums, including the United Nations and global climate negotiations. She has served as Co-Chair of the International Indigenous Peoples’ Forum on Climate Change, representing Indigenous communities affected by climate and environmental policies.
In December 2025, Russian authorities raided her home and arrested her, charging her with alleged involvement in a “terrorist organization” - a claim widely condemned as fabricated. Human rights groups say her prosecution is retaliation for her peaceful advocacy and international work, and warn it reflects a broader crackdown on Indigenous and civil society activists in Russia.

SOLIDARITY TO DARIA
Instruction
Please send a message of solidarity to Daria Egereva, which will be translated into Russian and delivered to her in prison. Your words matter: letters remind political prisoners that they are seen, supported, and not forgotten beyond prison walls.
Messages can be short and simple - say who you are and where you are from, express support, respect for her courage, or wishes of strength - and should avoid political calls to action or sensitive details to ensure delivery. Every message is carefully handled and passed on with care.
