Writing a letter in solidarity to a political prisoner is not complicated. You don’t have to write a long letter, nor do you have to know the person you are writing to. There are however some things that are important to think about.
- Don’t write anything incriminating, or about the person’s case. Your letter could be monitored by the guards.
- In your first letter you can write a little introduction of yourself, and your intentions to stay in correspondence.
- Include a name and return address, both at the back of your letter, and the envelope. You don’t necessarily have to put your own legal name as recipient.
- Check what rules the prison have regarding mail to the prisoners. If the prisoner has s support crew, also check with them if there are certain things the prisoner needs, that you maybe can help with, like sending books.
