Dear Dmitry Anatoliyevich!
 
I would like to take the opportunity to address you through the friends-journalists and tell you the following. Two of my friends and I have been in detention facility N6 on charges of article 213 part 2 in connection with events in the Temple of Christ the Saviour on 21 February 2012.  Neither my efforts, nor the efforts of my lawyers led to a change of preventive punishment in the form of detention. The law against me is quite definitely violated. Court, the investigation, as well as law enforcement system are deaf to reasonable arguments about my state of health, the fact of separation from my daughter -  all that require my immediate release. The two months that my friends and I have spent in detention are ample punishment for our alleged conduct.
 
All calls for punishment of ‘unrepentant blasphemous women’ do not have corresponding elements of crime in the Penal Code. We never aimed to insult the feelings of Orthodox believers, sacrilage the Christian holy sites, behave in a hooligan way in the Temple of Christ the Saviour.
 
It is in your power to correct the injustice done to me, Maria Aliokhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich.
 
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova
