Dmitri Sklyarov is a programmer for a Russian software company. The US software company Adobe, Inc
recently had him arrested after he spoke at a conference in the US.

As a citizen and programmer, I find it frankly abusive that Adobe has chosen to harass an employee of a company it has a beef with.

Sklyarov reportedly has two little kids at home. As a parent of a little kid, I find this horrific --no matter how
Mr. Sklyarov is treated in custody, he will be worrying about his family on the other side of the planet.

I urge you to look into the matter and discover whether this was proper behavior by federal agents prompted by Adobe.

thank you,

David Honig
