The United States would want principles of a law-governed state proclaimed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to be applied in the case of former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky, U.S. ambassador to Russia John Byerle has said.

“We noticed what Medvedev said about the importance of a law-governed state, the importance of the independence of the judicial system in Russia. We wish that these principles would be manifested during the trial,” he said on Ekho Moskvy radio.

He also voiced hope that people responsible for the death of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergei Magnitsky would be held criminally responsible.

Commenting on reports that a group of Congress members demanded that the United States ban entry to officials responsible for Magnitsky’s death Beyrle said: “We see this resolution as an expression of apparent dissatisfaction on the part of congress. It is an absurd death that could be avoided. Many people in America don’t understanding how it could happen.” hairy girl займ на карту онлайн https://zp-pdl.com/apply-for-payday-loan-online.php https://zp-pdl.com/how-to-get-fast-payday-loan-online.php онлайн займы
