- “Set Them Free: Recognizing Vladimir Kara-Murza and Prisoners of the Kremlin,” an event dedicated to advocating for those unjustly detained by Russia. This event serves as a follow-up to the event convened on April 9, advocating for Vladimir Kara-Murza and other Russian political prisoners.
Now reunited with his family following his release in a prisoner exchange, Vladimir has been a powerful voice for those still left behind-Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainian hostages held in Russia. As Vladimir has emphasized, the struggle is not over. This event is an opportunity to celebrate his freedom, commend the Biden-Harris Administration for securing the release of wrongfully detained individuals, and recommit to advocating for the countless others who remain imprisoned by the Kremlin.
Members of Congress, human rights advocates, and representatives from leading international organizations will highlight the urgency of continued advocacy, share updates on the plight of these political prisoners, and discuss the role of Russian democracy activists in promoting a future of justice and human rights.
Media outlets including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America will ensure that the message of solidarity and action resonates with the Russian people and beyond.
This event is hosted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC), with participation from the Free Russia Foundation and the National Endowment for Democracy.
The National Endowment for Democracy is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world. Each year, NED makes more than 2,000 grants to support the projects of non-governmental groups abroad who are working for democratic goals in more than 100 countries. Learn more at www.ned.org/

VKM a man of great courage, I salute!
Where's Putin? What's he up to?
You should say this about President Trump. He should be able to speak freely!
Vladimir Kara-Murza speaking in Congress? Umm... YES! He is Russia's last, best hope for Democracy in our time. It's only been nine (9) days since this video dropped, but I truly hope this video gets more attention in the coming years. I don't even know you, but when I heard you were released, particularly after the death of Alexei Navalny, a tear escaped me and I opened a bottle of wine with my family in celebration. 🥲 Stay strong and BE SAFE! You're a rock star! 😎 🥳
