[Fis] The Sports, Music and Information Worlds

[Marcin SCHROEDER]

Dear Joseph, Dear Friends,
I support your proposal with my heart and my reason.
This protest is not against any individual researcher, no matter what their
nationality is. It is against unprovoked actions of the Russian government
and military threatening peace in the entire world, against actions
bringing harm, death and suffering to innocent people of Ukraine.
Regards,
Marcin
