Human rights organisations express concern over the immediate risk of deportation of russian war resister maksim kuzmin to the russian federation
Organizations express serious concern over the imminent deportation of Maksim Kuzmin, a Russian conscientious objector, from Lithuania to Russia. Facing a critical hearing on April 2nd, 2026, he risks persecution and forced mobilization despite previous court rulings confirming he poses no security threat. We urgently appeal to the Lithuanian Court to grant him international protection and uphold human rights, preventing his return to a country where he faces danger for his anti-war stance.
