Moskalenko on Khodorkovsky Verdict

In case you missed it, Karinna Moskalenko spoke to the BBC yesterday about the European Court of Human Rights’ ruling on her client’s case (click for video).  ‘We are really happy to have this judgement today.  We registered our case in 2004.  […] the judgement recognises numerous violations of fundamental rights of our client, that is what we were trying to prove to our authorities. […] This case is not about the political motivation of the violations.  This case is about the violations of fundamental rights.  […] The European Court is not the place for the political debates.  There is nothing strange about the European Court avoiding political questions.  […] Look at the judgement, there are so many violations, and these are systemic violations.‘
