Helsinki, February 22, 1995

Greetings.

Unfortunately we weren't able to organize any action for Feb 23, on account of the short notice, but we'd like to express our deepest solidarity for the Chechenyan people and all Russian war resisters.

The following letter is a protest letter to the Russian government, which was signed by 4,000 young Finns on Jan 17-19, and thereafter sent to the Russian embassy in Helsinki during a 24 hour candle-light vigile in front of the embassy building on the 19th of January, 1995.

Hopefully future actions will follow, also from our side.

Your sincerely,

Robert Ryoma
