"Mr President, I would also like to mention the political detainees Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, who have been charged again, on the basis of obscure accusations, in order to prevent their early release, for which Russian law makes provision. It is by these means that the justice system is continuing its absurd and clearly politically motivated show trial of Yukos’ former owners. Khodorkovsky’s commitment to a more democratic Russian society made him an opponent of Putin, and, their major oil group having been broken up, the greater part of the owners’ shares are now in the hands of the state. If Russia disregards basic human rights – and we have just heard of it doing so in Munich too – then that makes it a very problematic partner for the EU. We in this House should monitor this trial on the ground and protest against such practices."@en1
