Khodorkovsky was denied right to fair Russian trial: Court

Bloomberg

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Russian businessman who spent nearly a decade in prison in Russia on what he said were politically motivated charges by the Kremlin, won a second victory at Europe’s top human rights court.
The Russian trial judge’s refusal to “allow the defense to examine prosecution and defense witnesses and to submit important
expert or exculpatory evidence” violated Khodorkovsky’s rights and those of his former business partner Platon Lebedev during their second trial in 2009 and 2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday.
