Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Roth, Kenneth

“Impressions amount that doing business in Russia is insecure. There is no independent judiciary, no rule of law, no respect of the fundamental rights and freedoms. All see the examples like the Khodorkovsky case and think: how can I do business in Russia, when authorities can seize my assets, put me in prison or apply force, if I get in their way”

Kenneth Roth, Director of Human Rights Watch, February 3, 2009
