Bohemia Interactive Asks for Help Bringing Its Developers Home

Bohemia Interactive asks gamers and press to support imprisoned developers Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar, who face up to 20 years in a Greek spying case.

After more than a week covering the arrest of Bohemia Interactive developers Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar, imprisoned in Greece over spying allegations, the studio has put out a call for help. It points gamers and press to a community support site, HelpIvanMartin.org, which collects information about the case, links to coverage, and an ongoing petition.

The stakes are stark: the two developers face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Whatever you make of the case, rallying behind two of your own is exactly what a community is for.
