On 3 March 1970, Z. M. Grigorenko, wife of Petr G. Grigorenko, a well-known dissident, issued an appeal titled ‘Freedom-loving Citizens around the World!’. Her purpose in doing so was to save her husband, who had been arrested and forcibly incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital in Tashkent while attempting to attend the trial of Crimean Tatars, of whom he was a supporter. Her appeal concluded with the following passage: Everybody! Petr Grigorenko is on the verge of death! I appeal to all of the democratic organisations which are working for protection of human rights and to all freedom-loving citizens around the world! Please support me to save my husband! The freedom for the one is for all! 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
