Australian Senator remembered 'Khodorkovsky case'.

Australian Greens Senator Christine Milne expressed her concerns to Prime Minister John Howard about Russia's hasty retreat from democracy, human rights and open political processes. The press-release went out today.

'Russian businessman and funder of the democracy movement, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, has been arrested and incarcerated in a Siberian prison camp on trumped up charges. This has allowed the regime to seize the assets of Khodorkovsky's energy company, Yukos, and to suppress the emergence of political dissent,' said the statement.
