the morning after

We've just collected some internationals from the police station.. they're tired but all fine..
They've all been treated ok by the standards of russia in that they've only been denied food, water and the use of the toilet periodically.
After we visited them last night the cops refused to allow people to go to the toilet and were generally as obstructive as possible.?
There's been so much pressure internationally, by which I mean that people have been calling the police stations from all over the world, and so the russian cops have been a little freaked out.
The internationals were able to do things that affected the treatment of russians in custody also which we think was a very positive thing, it's very unusual to be able to visit in a police station here and the police were clearly scared of the level of attention.
There are still some people in custody who will hopefully be let out tomorrow..
We are still concerned about the belorussian man, who has now been located, but seems to have wandered out of the hospital unnoticed. This may be a big problem considering that he was reportedly very disorientated when last seen. As we have said before - this is something that people die of in custody in western countries, let alone here, and so we are worried, but frustratingly unable to do anything about it.
so were about to head back to moscow. were going to leave our public medic phone and whatever resources we can with the legal team here.
We will also be forwarding any funds we get donated from here on in to the legal team
