Dear friends from Amnesty International,
I wish to convey my heartfelt gratitude for your assistance and support which have enabled me to endure this difficult stage in my life.

The thing is, I am held not in an ordinary prison, but in a medical and corrective treatment facility for drug addicts and alcoholics. I am placed in a special section along with former homeless drug addicts and alcoholics suffering from chronic diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C.

I can only guess as to the reasons why a healthy person like me was placed here… Communication here is equally special, therefore each one of you is a friend to me, and every correspondence from you for me is a kind of “breath of freedom” in this dark world which refreshes my soul with feelings of hope, confidence and optimism.

Your messages come in handy during the most difficult moments and when life becomes particularly hard and all energy is gone – it is at such moments that I turn to your letters to re-read them again. Your solidarity with me is the best reward for the time I have been here.

Looking at your postcards with Dutch scenery, brochures with neighbourhoods and old castles of England, with the finest streets of France etc before I go to bed, enables me to take a dive into a beautiful world full of kindness, to become an explorer walking in different cities of the world, albeit in my sleep. And the taste of sweets you have sent to me gives rise to feelings of celebration.

Thank you for your support and participation in my fate and my family’s fate. Thank you also for the opportunity to reunite with my family even if for once in 6 months for three days.

All the very best. What you are doing is very important. Thank you. Yours sincerely and with thanks to each of you,

Aleksei Sokolov
