Amnesty International has released a special poster dedicated to Russian human rights defender and representative of the Selkup people Daria Egereva. The material was published on September 1 as part of the organization’s global Write for Rights 2026 campaign.

Russian human rights defender, Indigenous rights activist and environmental advocate Daria Egereva has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Her nomination was submitted in January by former UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples S. James Anaya and Øyvind Ravna, Professor at UiT — The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø.

The German publication Berliner Gazette has published an analytical article by Regzena Erdyneeva on repression against Indigenous Peoples and their human rights defenders in Russia. The editors of daria-egereva.org present a review of the article.

An English-language Wikipedia article dedicated to the International Indigenous Peoples’ Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) now includes a separate section on Daria Egereva, the Forum’s co-chair, a member of the Selkup people and an Indigenous rights defender currently detained in Russia.

German investigative outlet CORRECTIV has published an investigation into the growing repression of Indigenous rights activists in Russia, focusing on the cases of Daria Egereva and Natalia Leongardt and the criminalization of the “Aborigen Forum.”

Today, Daria Egereva and Natalia Leongardt remain behind bars — people who spent years defending the interests of Indigenous communities and working for their future. Instead of recognition for this work, they are being held in pre-trial detention, accused of “participating in the activities of a terrorist organization.” They face between 10 and 20 years in prison.

Arctida, together with The Insider, set out to determine who actually speaks on behalf of Russia's Indigenous peoples at these forums, and whose interests they truly represent.
