Lila, would you be able to somehow contact the Russian government? On Nov 23, 2015 18:25, "Samir Elsharbaty" selsharbaty@wikimedia.org wrote:
Some suggestions of things we can do:
- The list of signatories on the amnesty international website does not
include the WMF, the Wikimedia community, any of our affiliations or any representation from the Wikimedia movement. I wonder if we can contact them and request adding any of the above mentioned?
- Use our SM channels to retweet the WMF blog post [1] about him with the
news that he is sentenced to death.
- We all try to share supporting tweets on the #FreeBassel hashtag.

Gerard, this is devastating news. Please send our love to Bassel's
family.
I still hope this is not true.
If there is anything we can do from here please let us know. Lila

Hoi, I was so afraid when I read that Bassel has been sentenced to death. I
read
it on the website of Amnesty International [1]. I blogged about him in
the
past [2]. I am sad to say that it is him.
Bassel was active as a Wikimedian, he worked towards making information available about Palmyra.
If there is anything that we can do, please let us do this. Thanks, GerardM
