SUPPORT KHODORKOVSKY ON TWITTER

As many of you know, today is the sixth anniversary of the arrest of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.  On Oct. 25, 2003, a team of spetsnaz armed to the teeth raided an airplane on a snowy Novosibirsk runway, behaving as though they were taking down the world’s most dangerous terrorist, instead of a mild-mannered business executive on his way to a speech at a University.  It was Act 1 of a long-running theatrical drama, screen written with the goal of creating a distraction from the openly political persecution of man who frightened an authoritarian state.  That ruthless script continues playing out today in a stuffy Moscow courtroom, awaiting its draconian conclusion.
