on November 15 in support of journalists, writers, human rights and cultural activists who went missing, illegally imprisoned or captivated in the course of Russia’s war against Ukraine.</em></p> <p>The human rights event was held on the Sophiiska Square in Kyiv by<a href="https://pen.org.ua/en"> PEN Ukraine</a> and the<a href="https://ccl.org.ua/en/"> Center for Civil Liberties</a>. A symbolic installation of empty chairs with the names of imprisoned, captivated and missing authors, artists, human rights and media activists who are not able to be with us due to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine lasting since 2014 was set up during the action. The chairs were partly filled with the plaques ‘Name Unknown’ because many names of imprisoned, captivated and missing Ukrainians remain unidentified.</p> <p></p> <div class="wpmf-gallerys wpmf-gallerys-life " data-items="[{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a3787-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A3787","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a2967-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A2967","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a3076-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A3076","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a3905-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A3905","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a3735-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A3735","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a3745-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A3745","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a4011-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A4011","type":"image"}]" ><div id="gallery-1" data-id="gallery-1" data-gutterwidth="5" class="gallery gallery_life wpmfslick wpmfslick_life gallery-link-file wpmf-has-border-radius-0 wpmf-gutter-5 wpmfslick_multiplecolumns ratio_default wpmf-slick-crop-1" data-count="7" data-wpmfcolumns="3" data-auto_animation="1" data-duration="4000" data-border-width="0" data-shadow="0"><div class="wpmf-gallery-item item" data-index="0" data-tags="" style="opacity: 0;

<strong>Ivan Andrusiak</strong>, writer, poet, translator, friend of poet <strong>Borys Humeniuk</strong> who went missing in action near Klishchiivka in December 2022; <strong>Oleksandra Barkova</strong>, sister of <strong>Bohdan Ziza</strong>, Crimean artist illegally sentenced to 15 years in prison in June 2023 by the Russian occupation authorities; <strong>Oksana Mykhalevych</strong>, defendant of journalist <strong>Dmytro Khyliuk</strong>, abducted by the Russian military in March 2022 in the village of Kozarovychi near Kyiv; <strong>Oksana Stomina</strong>, poet and civic activist from Mariupol. Oksana’s husband <strong>Drmytro Paskalov</strong>, who was among the defenders of the Azovstal steel plant, has been remaining in Russian captivity since May 2022; <strong>Olena Tsyhipa</strong>, wife of <strong>Serhii Tsyhipa</strong>, writer and journalist from Nova Kakhovka sentenced to 13 years in a penal colony by the so-called ‘supreme court of the republic of Crimea’.<br></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25973" srcset="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4159-1-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Maryna Aleksandrovych</strong>, wife of poet and graphic designer <strong>Mykola Leonovych</strong> who went missing in April 2023 while performing a combat mission near Avdiivka</figcaption></figure> <p><em>“People whose names are written on the chairs could have done so many beautiful things for Ukraine. I still believe they will have such a chance, but Russia wants to deprive us of that,”</em><strong> said</strong> <strong>Maryna Aleksandrovych</strong>. The woman told the story of her husband Mykola Leonovych, writer, book designer and illustrator who is considered missing now. <em>“He was raised and cherished in Ukrainian culture, and he knew what he was doing when he felt compelled to take up arms and defend this culture. This was the culture that helped him develop into a creative and responsible man,”</em> she added. Maryna also stressed that it was of utmost importance for the families of all missing persons, POWs and civilian prisoners to appeal to international organizations like ICRC and the governments of the foreign countries which have adopted the Geneva Conventions so that those could enforce international humanitarian law in Russia.<br>The ex-illegally imprisoned journalists and human rights activists <strong>Liudmyla Huseinova</strong> and <strong>Nariman Celal</strong> also joined the event. Their names were installed on the chairs during the same action in the past years; this year, they were finally able to take their seats themselves. This symbolizes hope for the return of those who remain in the aggressor’s captivity.</p> <p></p> <div class="wpmf-gallerys wpmf-gallerys-life " data-items="[{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a4275-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A4275","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a4242-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A4242","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a4214-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A4214","type":"image"},{"src":"https:\/\/ccl.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/9j6a4342-1024x683.jpg","title":"9J6A4342","type":"image"}]" ><div id="gallery-2" data-id="gallery-2" data-gutterwidth="5" class="gallery gallery_life wpmfslick wpmfslick_life gallery-link-file wpmf-has-border-radius-0 wpmf-gutter-5 wpmfslick_multiplecolumns ratio_default wpmf-slick-crop-1" data-count="4" data-wpmfcolumns="3" data-auto_animation="1" data-duration="4000" data-border-width="0" data-shadow="0"><div class="wpmf-gallery-item item" data-index="0" data-tags="" style="opacity: 0; padding: 2.5px"><div class="wpmf-gallery-icon"><a data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4275-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4275" class="wpmfgalleryaddonswipe wpmf_overlay " data-index="0"></a><a class="square_thumbnail" data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4275-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4275" data-index="0"><div class="img_centered"><img decoding="async" alt="9J6A4275" class="wpmf_slider_img" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4275-1024x683.jpg"></div></a><div class="wpmf-slick-text"><span class="title">9J6A4275</span></div></div></div><div class="wpmf-gallery-item item" data-index="1" data-tags="" style="opacity: 0; padding: 2.5px"><div class="wpmf-gallery-icon"><a data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4242-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4242" class="wpmfgalleryaddonswipe wpmf_overlay " data-index="1"></a><a class="square_thumbnail" data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4242-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4242" data-index="1"><div class="img_centered"><img decoding="async" alt="9J6A4242" class="wpmf_slider_img" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4242-1024x683.jpg"></div></a><div class="wpmf-slick-text"><span class="title">9J6A4242</span></div></div></div><div class="wpmf-gallery-item item" data-index="2" data-tags="" style="opacity: 0; padding: 2.5px"><div class="wpmf-gallery-icon"><a data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4214-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4214" class="wpmfgalleryaddonswipe wpmf_overlay " data-index="2"></a><a class="square_thumbnail" data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4214-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4214" data-index="2"><div class="img_centered"><img decoding="async" alt="9J6A4214" class="wpmf_slider_img" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4214-1024x683.jpg"></div></a><div class="wpmf-slick-text"><span class="title">9J6A4214</span></div></div></div><div class="wpmf-gallery-item item" data-index="3" data-tags="" style="opacity: 0; padding: 2.5px"><div class="wpmf-gallery-icon"><a data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4342-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4342" class="wpmfgalleryaddonswipe wpmf_overlay " data-index="3"></a><a class="square_thumbnail" data-lightbox="1" data-href="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4342-1024x683.jpg" title="9J6A4342" data-index="3"><div class="img_centered"><img decoding="async" alt="9J6A4342" class="wpmf_slider_img" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a4342-1024x683.jpg"></div></a><div class="wpmf-slick-text"><span class="title">9J6A4342</span></div></div></div></div></div> <p><em>“Every captive or political prisoner has their own view from the window. Sometimes, though, they never have windows in their cell. Prisoners are held in basements without the ability to hear the outside world’s sounds or breathe fresh air at least once in a while. Once you are imprisoned, your life’s focus becomes very narrow. Guards in prison isolate you from any truthful information,”</em> said <strong>Nariman Celal</strong> .“<em>Yet sometimes our wish to pass a word to our dear one becomes strong enough to break even the thick walls of Russian prisons and torture camps. This is a beyond important work to do. Any news that you are remembered and reminded of worldwide is a thin thread of light for you to hold on. This helps and leads you towards being released. I want us to be united and helpful to everyone who needs us. Events like Empty Chairs are not only held in support of prisoners and their families. This is also a test for our society. This is a reminder that the war we are waging for our freedom preserves empathetic, caring and persevering humans in us,” </em>he added in conclusion.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25970" srcset="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-300x200.jpg 300w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9j6a3664-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Oksana Mykhalevych</strong>, defendant of journalist <strong>Dmytro Khyliuk</strong>, abducted by the Russian military in March 2022 in the village of Kozarovychi near Kyiv</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Oksana Mykhalevych</strong>, defendant of parents of the Russian-abducted journalist Dmytro Khyliuk, told his story. <em>“Dmytro was abducted together with his father near their house in the village of Kozarovychi, Kyiv region.

The empty chairs at human rights actions on this day became a symbol of the authors who can’t be with us due to imprisonment, persecution, disappearance or murder</p> <p>In 2024, it was the fifth time that PEN Ukraine and Center for Civil Liberties held the Empty Chairs human rights event. </p> <p>The event took place with  informational support from: <a href="https://www.pravda.com.ua/">Ukrainska Pravda</a>, <a href="https://hromadske.ua/">hromadske</a>, <a href="https://www.radiosvoboda.org/">Radio Liberty</a>, <a href="https://theukrainians.org/">The Ukrainians Media</a>, <a href="https://www.pr.army/">PR Army</a>.Event partners: <a href="https://imi.org.ua/">Institute of Mass Information</a>, <a href="https://zmina.ua/">ZMINA Human Rights Center</a>, <a href="https://ppu.gov.ua/">Representative Office of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea</a>, <a href="https://www.helsinki.org.ua/">UHHRU</a>, <a href="https://khpg.org/">Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group</a>, <a href="https://ukrainewararchive.org/">NGO “War Archive</a>“.</p> </div> <div class="s-post__bottom"> <div class="s-post__bottom-goback"> <a href="" class="btn btn--filled">Назад</a> </div> <div class="s-post__bottom-nav"> <a href="https://ccl.org.ua/en/news/on-november-15-in-kyiv-the-empty-chairs-event-will-be-held-in-support-of-imprisoned-captured-and-missing-journalists-and-artists/" class="btn btn--bordered"> <svg viewBox="0 0 24 23"><path fill-rule="evenodd" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2px" stroke-linecap="butt" stroke-linejoin="miter" fill="none" d="M13.000,3.388 L4.792,11.000 L13.000,18.613 "/><path fill-rule="evenodd" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2px" stroke-linecap="butt" stroke-linejoin="miter" fill="none" d="M22.000,11.000 L4.000,11.000 "/></svg> <span>Попередня</span> </a> </div> <div class="s-post__bottom-share"> <div class="s-post__bottom-share__text"> Поділитися в<br> соц. мережах </div> <div class="s-post__bottom-share__buttons"> <a target="_blank" href="https://facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://ccl.org.ua/en/news/human-rights-event-for-the-empty-chairs-day-was-held-in-kyiv/"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="m15.997 3.985h2.191v-3.816c-.378-.052-1.678-.169-3.192-.169-3.159 0-5.323 1.987-5.323 5.639v3.361h-3.486v4.266h3.486v10.734h4.274v-10.733h3.345l.531-4.266h-3.877v-2.939c.001-1.233.333-2.077 2.051-2.077z"></path></svg> </a> <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://ccl.org.ua/en/news/human-rights-event-for-the-empty-chairs-day-was-held-in-kyiv/"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path d="M512,97.248c-19.04,8.352-39.328,13.888-60.48,16.576c21.76-12.992,38.368-33.408,46.176-58.016 c-20.288,12.096-42.688,20.64-66.56,25.408C411.872,60.704,384.416,48,354.464,48c-58.112,0-104.896,47.168-104.896,104.992 c0,8.32,0.704,16.32,2.432,23.936c-87.264-4.256-164.48-46.08-216.352-109.792c-9.056,15.712-14.368,33.696-14.368,53.056 c0,36.352,18.72,68.576,46.624,87.232c-16.864-0.32-33.408-5.216-47.424-12.928c0,0.32,0,0.736,0,1.152 c0,51.008,36.384,93.376,84.096,103.136c-8.544,2.336-17.856,3.456-27.52,3.456c-6.72,0-13.504-0.384-19.872-1.792 c13.6,41.568,52.192,72.128,98.08,73.12c-35.712,27.936-81.056,44.768-130.144,44.768c-8.608,0-16.864-0.384-25.12-1.44 C46.496,446.88,101.6,464,161.024,464c193.152,0,298.752-160,298.752-298.688c0-4.64-0.16-9.12-0.384-13.568 C480.224,136.96,497.728,118.496,512,97.248z"></path></svg> </a> </div> </div> </div> </article> <footer class="footer"> <div class="footer__nav"> <div class="footer__info"> <img class="footer__info-logo" src="https://ccl.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ccllogo.png" alt=""> <div class="footer__info-text"> Центр громадянських свобод — українська правозахисна організація, <br /> заснована у 2007 році.
