Moscow, 20.12.2012 – the Russian agency RIA Novosti has reported that founder of the “Civic Platform” political party, Mikhail Prokhorov, believes that Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev’s sentencing reduction is a half-measure and the sentence resulting from the second case is “unjust.”

“Any reductions of the sentence are half-measures. I have consistently been advocating and still am for the early release of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, and I think the second trial is unjust” – RIA Novosti quoted Prokhorov.
