The idea of sanctions was suggested by a group of parliamentarians headed by Kristina Ojuland of Estonia. “The European Union openly supported Belarussian opposition. Why not the democratic opposition in Russia as well?” said Heidi Hautala of Finland, chair-in-office of the European Parliament’s subcommittee on human rights. “We cannot permit double standards.” President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek called Khodorkovsky’s verdict a “symbol of systemic problems with supremacy of the law, legal nihilism, and human rights in Russia.”
