Support for political prisoners as part of the solidarity marathon “We care!”



At the end of July, the BYSOL Foundation took part in the online solidarity marathon “We don't care about everything”, where joint efforts raised more than half a million euros. This money, intended to help political prisoners and their families, pay for lawyers and medical care, was divided among several foundations, associations and initiatives so as not to allow overlapping payments or payments to the same people.

The BYSOL Foundation received €100,000 to be given to the families of political prisoners as well as to political prisoners who have already been released. A one-off payment of €500 will be given to 200 families.
