Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Novodvorskaya, Valeria

“Why did they send Svetlana Bakhmina to a penal colony? Because she would not voluntarily give evidence against Khodorkovsky. Why is Alexei Pichugin now serving a life sentence in prison? Because he would not say that Mikhail Khodorkovsky ordered him to kill someone else. It’s a very dangerous situation”
