"Mr President, we recently received new information about the key figures in the notorious Russian Yukos trial of Mr Khodorkovsky and Mr Lebedev. Having observed their trial in Moscow last May, our colleague, Mr Horáček, concluded that this trial did not follow rules that could provide a fair verdict. Both Mr Khodorkovsky and Mr Lebedev have now been sent to serve their sentences thousands of kilometres away from their homes. Yesterday, Mr Lebedev had to spend his 49th birthday in a prison situated beyond the Arctic Circle, isolated from his children and grandchildren, in conditions that are detrimental to his current state of health.
Last week, more than thirty MEPs signed a letter expressing the hope that both Mr Khodorkovsky and Mr Lebedev could have a new and fair trial, and that the conditions of their detention could be normalised. I would like to ask both the Commission and the Council to convince the Russian authorities of the need for a new and fair trial for both men. Russia has yet to prove that it shares our European values."@en1
