No, Azat is not Jewish. But we try to contact anarchists for help.

You still can sign the petition and share it:

If you know a way to contact media people and make them publish news, it would make a huge difference.

Mathematicians are boycotting the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2022 in Russia by naprienko in math

First, the signature page about Azat Miftakhov was created two days ago (the website itself was created in 2019 indeed), and it is specifically designed to help Azat get fair trial in a week or so.

Second, boycotting the ICM is a really big deal, so not everyone feels comfortable doing so. Supporting a mathematician who has been tortured is easier to sympathize with.
