On Wednesday, 05 June, the ALDE Group in the EP is organizing a high-level
seminar entitled "Russian Political Prisoners", which seeks to increase
attention to the political prisoners in Russia and find solutions on how to help
those people.
"The EU can't overlook its own values and principles while building relations
with Russia. There are major problems and these need to be urgently attended
to. Russia needs to start fulfilling its international obligations in the
Council of Europe and the OSCE" - said MEP Ojuland ahead of the event.
"Instead of long awaited liberation of the political prisoner number one -
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, we observe the persecutions of activists and citizens for
practicing their constitutional rights. At the moment the "Bolotnaya" and "Pussy
Riot" cases have our increased attention, but unfortunately there are many
others in Russia who face the same repression" - continued Ojuland. "Impunity
of the gross human rights violators stays as a central problem in cases of
living and fallen victims of Putin's regime as it has happened in Magnitsky's
case".
Among the distinguished participants is the president of the ALDE Group in the
EP, former PM of Belgium Guy Verhofstadt; the political leader of the
People's Democratic Union (PDU), former PM of Russia Mikhail Kasyanov; nominee
to Nobel Peace Prize, chair of Moscow Helsinki Group Lyudmila Alekseeva; the
president of the Institute of Modern Russia Pavel Khodorkovsky; the leader of
Sergey Magnitsky Global campaign Bill Browder.
