Moscow, December 30, 2010. INTERFAX. Grigory Yavlinsky, member
of Political Committee of the Russian United Democratic Party
YABLOKO, supports the statement of the party in connection
with a sentence to Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev
and considers the verdict by the court unlawful and subject
to revision.
“I completely share YABLOKO’s position as put down in the
today’s statement by the party. The sentence to Mikhail Khodorkovsky
and Platon Lebedev comes from a political decision, adopted
outside court, therefore this verdict is unlawful and should
be abrogated,” stressed Grigory Yavlinsky.
“The YUKOS case is an instrument for intimidation of the
Russian business,” he said.
Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow sentenced Mikhail Khodorkovsky
and Platon Lebedev to 13.5 years of imprisonment, in total
they will serve 14 years of imprisonment each, the terms of
imprisonment are calculated from February 2007, the terms
they have already served since their arrest in 2003 will be
included into this term.
