Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Bryant, Chris MP

“The problem is the regular, systematic state abuse of criminal justice system in Russia, which has meant that Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been imprisoned on spurious charges- Amnesty International, has declared him and Platon Lebedev as prisoner of conscience. It is right that we pursue such issues to try to ensure that there is a proper criminal justice system in Russia and one that does not depend on torture”
