European Parliament Questions Rule of Law in Russia

The European Parliament adopted a resolution "On the Rule of Law in Russia," which expressed concern about the current situation in the Russian judicial system. The European Parliament specifically voiced dismay about an array of high-profile trials in Russia, including that of ex-oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was recently sentenced to 14 years behind bars. The resolution also cites the situation surrounding the arrest of Hermitage Capital employee Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a detention center.
