Publications / Fact Sheet of the 2nd Khodorkovsky Trial – 31 March 2010
March 31st, 2010 marks the first anniversary of the beginning of the second trial against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev. This brief fact sheet was compiled to share all the details of the lack of grounds for the prosecution’s impossible accusation that the two defendants had embezzled all oil produced by Yukos from 1998-2003. International as well as various Russian observers of the second trial have emphasized the politically motivated nature of the case against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev while calling for their immediate release.
