"The resolution on the political use of justice in Russia reminds us of the difficult internal situation in that country as well as the legislation passed by the Duma of the Russian Federation which hits at human rights. As co-rapporteur of the draft resolution, I believe that it is particularly important that it draws attention to specific instances of breaches of human rights, such as the convictions of Mikhail Khordokovsky, Platon Lebedev and Taisia Osipova and also mentions the tragic case of Sergei Magnitsky.
The situation of human rights defenders and activists who do not agree with the present authorities is very difficult. Although the media highlights some cases, prosecutors ignore most of them. It is in the interest of the European Union to enjoy fruitful cooperation with neighbours that, in their societies, abide by the principles of democracy and the rule of law. This is still lacking in Russia. For this reason, it is the responsibility of Members of the European Parliament to continue providing reminders about what needs to be changed and improved. For these reasons, I supported this resolution."@en1
