A demonstration was held in Nottingham, demanding the release of British executed by firing squad from Ukraine under Russian occupation.
Aiden Aslin, 28, was captured with Sean Pinner, 48, in April while fighting Ukrainian marines in the besieged city of Mariupol, after some were forced to surrender.
His devastated family took part in yesterday’s protest, calling on members of the Nottingham Ukraine Solidarity Campaign (NUSC) to work harder for the government to help British citizens sentenced to death in Russia’s Puppet Court. ..
Aslin’s grandmother, Pamela Hall, thanked the large crowd of 120 who joined them in solidarity with Old Market Square.
Among them were Ukrainian and Russian residents of his Nottinghamshire hometown.
Organizer Pete Radcliffe reported that the event was part of keeping up the pressure to act on Russia.
“We must protect him and all other prisoners of war in Donetsk, who are being held by irresponsible Russian puppet forces.”
We must demand an end to Putin’s war, his war crimes and the occupation of parts of Ukraine.
Aslin is one of three soldiers accused of recruiting Ukrainian troops.
Earlier this month, the three defendants were forced to “sentence” in front of a television camera.
They were tried in what is known as the “Shaw Trial” in an attempt to “force a seizure of power” by the Supreme Court of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
Aslin’s family has worked with the State Department to overturn the trumped-up convictions and negotiate his release, but there are concerns time is running out.
His grandmother told the BBC last week: “There are no words, only words. When the family is so threatened, it’s everyone’s worst nightmare.
“Aiden was very upset when he called his mom this morning.
“The main thing is that Aiden said that the DPR told him that no one from Great Britain was related to him and that he would be sentenced to death.
“You have to believe what Aiden told us. If DPR didn’t have a reaction, they would kill him. Obviously, I hope they don’t.”
Two weeks ago another rally was held in support of Aslin in her hometown of Newark.
