On a long journey

Conversations about the illegality of the choice of the location for the transfer of the main defendants in the YUKOS case began immediately after the announcement of the FSIN decision. And now the defenders of Platon Lebedev began to act. “Convicted persons must serve their sentences in the region where they lived or were convicted, or in a nearby one. This is expressly stated in the law,” said lawyer Elena Liptser. A similar complaint should be expected from Khodorkovsky’s lawyers. But we can’t count on a quick hearing in court.
