I was there, at the “Empty Chairs” event in Sofiivska Square, put on, in whole or in part, by #PEN #Ukraine. At the end, two former prisoners took their seats. So many more journalists, writers, and artists remain imprisoned or worse. We must not abandon them.

A view of the empty chairs on Sofiivska Square. In the background is the cathedral. In the foreground, the wife of a prisoner speaks it’s a gray, drizzly day.
A formerly imprisoned artist has taken her seat and is being interviewed by a journalist.
Another formerly imprisoned artist has taken his seat beside many chairs that remain empty.
