Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Schmidt, Yuriy

“…Putin launched into a long tirade that evaded the question and dealt a strong blow to Khodorkovsky’s reputation. No leader in any State, not one official in any country, would ever have permitted himself to say something of this kind [concerning the involvement in murders] about a person who has neither been convicted nor even accused of such a crime”

Yuriy Schmidt, Renowned lawyer and Khodorkovsky’s attorney, Radio Liberty, December 8, 2009
