Yes, it is very good, but we cannot possibly fit this all in one flyer. We can print this
separatelly or put only some parts ex. "His crime, to speak truths that were unpopular with
powerful groups funding the political apparatus."
About an open letter to the ambassador; I think we can use Richard Kay's letter as a base (
http://www.xenoclast.org/free-sklyarov-uk/2001-July/000027.html )
, maybe slightly changed. Is it ok, Richard?
