Liberty and amnesty surge in Russia as prisoners released
St. Petersburg reports a czar signed a general amnesty ukase freeing about 20 000 political prisoners immediately. The release follows pressure from Witte and Trepoff, with amnesty expected to cover European Russia prisons and Siberian penal colonies, while some classes may be excluded. The student movement is linked to a social democratic group led by a 23 year old organizer. Amnesty could affect around 15 000 inmates plus many banished residents.
