<div>This is our friend Alexander U. He is a musician, producer, lover of cats and avid reader. I have known Alexander for a decade, and his friend Frank has known him since they were children together in St. Petersburg.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2010 Alexander and Frank fled Russia to the UK as they faced persecution as queer people. Both sought asylum here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2020, after the death of his mother, Alexander became homeless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2023, he was arrested after allegedly stealing a bottle of wine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>in 2024, he broke both his legs in an accident and endured months long recovery from which he is still healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2025, he has been sentenced to 30 months in prison, and now has been issued a 28-day notice that he is to be deported to Russia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If deported, he not only faces further persecution as a queer person, but also potentially being conscripted into the military and forced to fight in Ukraine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Monday we met with the immigration lawyers supporting him and they said there is a good chance of preventing his deportation if we move quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They quoted a cost of £5k. We need to raise a deposit of £2.5k to proceed. Anything you can give will help us towards this goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Time is of the absolute essence as he could be deported imminently. We need a deposit to instruct the lawyers to put in a delay was we assemble his appeal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are desperately trying to raise funds to pay for legal support for Alexander to halt his deportation and allow him leave to remain in the UK as a refugee and asylum seeker.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has been moved from Thameside to High Point prison, which means we are unable to visit him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funds or letters of support would be greatly received and all would be used to help secure a safe future for Alexander. Please share this wherever you can, and please hear us when we say that deportation to Russia would seriously endanger Alexander's life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many many thanks for reading this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>любовь и солидарность
</div>
