by Crew of the Northabout yacht and other Irish “Grandfathers for Human Rights“

On Thursday, 10 February 2022, the crew of the Northabout yacht, which sailed through the White Sea Canal in 2012 and met Yury DMITRIEV, held a silent protest against his unjust and heavy sentence outside the Russian Embassy in Dublin.

Crew members travelled with DMITRIEV to Sandarmokh and learned of his work.
