Please send a message of solidarity to Daria, it 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.

Photo: Fisherman of Kamchatka Recent developments surrounding the regional association of Indigenous peoples of the Kamchatka Territory once again raise a question that has long been simmering within the movement: who, and to what extent, truly represents the interests of Indigenous peoples today? The trigger for this discussion is not only the re-election of the association’s chair, Andrey Metelitsa — a process which, according to reports, has rai

Thus, the case of Daria Egereva goes beyond the fate of a single person. It raises broader questions about the place of Indigenous voices in confronting global challenges, particularly those related to climate change — and about the conditions under which these voices can truly be heard.

As part of her international work, Daria called for Russia to ratify ILO Convention No. 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, emphasizing the importance of upholding international standards for the protection of traditional territories and cultural practices.

The Sámi Parliament expresses deep concern that Daria Egereva has remained in detention since December 17, 2025. Sámi representatives emphasize that her work has been peaceful and legitimate, aimed at strengthening Indigenous peoples’ participation in international climate and human rights processes, including within the UN system.

The statement was immediately picked up by some media outlets and widely circulated through messaging groups and social media channels of Indigenous peoples across Russia. The text is widely perceived as a response to the global support
