    1. No evidence was presented that these guys committed any crimes, their guilt was not proven.

    1. Antonina, Artem, Sergei and Konstantin are real journalists and just honest, brave people. They should be released immediately.

    1. The cell is overcrowded. Another inmate and I sleep on the floor.
    2. It feels like being held in a basement. [There's only] one small window somewhere high up.
    3. I understand perfectly well (...) what kind of country I live in. Throughout history, Russia has never been different, there is nothing new in the current situation.

    1. I am only 23 years old. Very soon, we will meet in freedom and I will hug everyone.
    2. Don't despair guys, sooner or later it will end and those who delivered the sentence will go behind bars.
    3. Everything will be fine. Everything will change. Those who sentenced me will be sitting here instead of me.

    1. The inmates of this cell face serious charges; one is accused of high treason. But these are young lads; only one man is older.
    2. I was transferred to cell 246 — four bunks for eight people.
    3. During the day we sit on a bench without a backrest, as there's no space. The mattress, blanket and pillow are worn out, and there are bedbugs. The atmosphere here is oppressive.
    4. Remorse is considered to be a mitigating circumstance. It's the criminals who need to have remorse for what they did. But I am in prison for my work, for the honest and impartial attitude to journalism, FOR THE LOVE for my family and country.
