During the press conference, there will be a presentation about the recently created ‘Prison Portal’ website, the accuracy of the information posted on it, and the portal’s plans.

During the press conference, the head of the ‘Donetsk Memorial’ human rights organisation, Oleksandr Bukalov, will speak.

Reference:
The ‘Prison Portal’ website was created by the ‘Donetsk Memorial’ human rights organisation with the support of the ‘Renaissance’ Foundation, with the aim of providing visitors with the most complete and vivid picture of the activities of Ukraine’s penal system and the interaction of its institutions with public organisations.
Materials on the site help to find answers to the following questions:

• How many people are sitting in prisons in our country?
• How many individuals are released every year?
• Where can one turn for help if someone ends up behind bars?
• Where should those who have been released seek support?
• How can one appeal to international human rights institutions?
