Maria Bonzler

activist

Maria Bonzler is a Kaliningrad-based lawyer and human rights defender who has been detained in pre-trial detention since being arrested on charges of 'state treason' (Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code). She has been denied access to legal representation by her own choice, urging other lawyers not to accept her case, and has faced multiple legal obstacles, including the removal of her defense attorneys due to refusal to obtain access to state secrets. Her health has deteriorated significantly in custody, with reports of losing consciousness in the cell and being denied medical care.
