Today is International Day of Political Prisoners and activists all over the world are posting messages, videos and photos on social media to express solidarity and call on everyone to do their part to ensure the release of political prisoners. 

Prisons are indeed the perfect environment for the coronavirus to spread and no measures are taken in many countries to deal with the emergency. Indeed, most countries have legislate to free a certain number of prisoners under special conditions, but almost everywhere political prisoners have been excluded by the new laws.
