The 2025 report of the legal service summarises systemic support provided to unlawfully detained persons, released individuals, and their families. The 562 consultations and cases of legal support reflect not only the scale of demand for legal assistance, but also the difficulties families face: uncertainty about the whereabouts of their relatives, the complexity of procedures, a lack of clear information, and the need for ongoing legal support.

This report was prepared with the support of the European Endowment for Democracy (EED). Its contents do not necessarily reflect the official position of the EED. The information and views set out in this report are the sole responsibility of the NGO "Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners of the Kremlin".
