"This joint motion for a resolution of the European Parliament, presented by the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the European Conservatives and Reformists Group and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, concerns the political use of justice in Russia. The exchange in the roles of President and Prime Minister between Putin and Medvedev has provoked mistrust in the international community in the process of the consolidation of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights. There are various voices which denounce the violations of democratic norms in Russia and the judicial system’s lack of impartiality in the face of political power, in spite of the Supreme Court following the recommendation of the Human Rights Council and having reduced Lebedev’s sentence to three years. Yet there are other cases, like politically motivated trials of scientists accused of espionage, the imprisonment of opposition members like the activist, Taisia Osipova, who was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment, singers from the punk band ‘Pussy Riot’, who performed in a church and have been subjected to exaggerated sentences, and so on. As Russia is a strategic partner with whom the EU has collaborative agreements, we have the right to demand correct behaviour in terms of respect for human rights and the independence of the judicial system."@en1
