Nobel Laureates Urge Prisoner Release in Ukraine Talks

Some very important people, called Nobel laureates, wrote a letter to the leaders of Russia, the United States, and Ukraine.

They want these leaders to include the release of political prisoners in their peace talks about the war in Ukraine.

One of these laureates, Dmitry Muratov, showed pictures of prisoners who are suffering in jail.

He wants the leaders to talk about people's rights and freedoms, not just about money and borders.

The Russian government says it follows its laws, but the laureates believe that releasing these prisoners could help bring peace.

The U.S. president has not publicly asked for the release of these prisoners, but he has worked to bring home American citizens jailed in Russia.
