At first I was unsure as Svetlana was found guilty, but after reading about the possibility of her waiving her amnesty for better medical conditions I have become confident that she has served her time and should be released. Russia's image is already plagued with human rights abuses and so should take great pains to avoid both the perception and action of human rights from taking place.

President Dmitri A. Medvedev:
You have nothing to lose by an act of kindness.
Please free Svetlana Bakhmina.
And drop me a line sometime, I mean, you never write anymore.
Das Vadanya, Tovarisch!

Nous voulons tous croirent que la Russie est une grande nation et est capable de fonctionner sous un systeme de droit. La clemence en fait partie ...pour cette raison la de Mme Bakmina est vital...

Keeping this woman in prison for another three years serves no useful purpose and is simply showcasing Russia as an undemocratic, despotic regime. For the sake of her family, loved ones, and democratic people all over the globe who cherish freedom and integrity, please allow her to go home.

I hope the Russian administration will heed the call to release Svetlana on humanitarian grounds. Clearly she has served as an example; the Kremlin has made its point very clearly in the Yukos matter and should not keep Svetlana behind bars; in my opinion, it is counterproductive to the Russian agenda.

Her children have suffered just as much -- if not exponentially more -- than their mother. To imprison her any longer will punishes the children, the family, and does not help the Russian society as a whole.

I may just be one person, and you may one president. The difference? YOU have the power to do things like this that people can only dream of.This means so much to me, as it should to you. Imagine that this was your wife. Wouldn't you do everything you could to save her ?
Закон есть закон, но есть и милосердие и человечность, которые выше закона... С моей точки зрения, она полностью искупила свою вину, если таковая была.
Милосердие всегда было в менталитете россиян. Помилуйте, Медведев!

Being originally from former Soviet Union, and learning about the judicial system in the US, I am appalled that this has not yet brought any action from the government of Russia. The Russian judicial system is not on the side of the people, but on the side of some invisible, oldfashionly righteous,and completely irrational body.

Please if the courts have mercy and courage, release this woman. Russia's birth rate is going down and yet she is having three children. She should have the support of the government.

Присоединяюсь к обращению огромного числа людей. Президенту стоит задуматься, почему столько самых разных людей просят его об одном и том же: о проявлении милосердия. Если таким образом будет освобождена хотя бы одна узница, возможность досрочного освобождения, пусть пока только для беременных женщин, перестанет быть пустой декларацией. Это, прежде всего, важно как прецедент, как лучик надежды для многих и многих людей по обе стороны тюремной решетки. Им, порой, один раз оступившимся и сполна получившим за это, и нам, превращающимся в равнодушных животных, жующих тележвачку.

Please release this poor woman who, to me, seems to have been made the sacrifice by her superiors for their freedom!
A wrong is a wrong, she may have committed it, but, Russian govt. should not commit ANOTHER WRONG by separating her two children from her and to top it, let another child be born in prison!
I sincerely pray for her release at the earliest.
Thanking you in anticipation
