Interfax : Havel, prominent Czechs sign letter of support for Khodorkovsky
MOSCOW. April 21 (Interfax) - Former Czech president Vaclav Havel, Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Vondra and 24 other prominent Czechs have signed an open letter declaring Mikhail Khodorkovsky a political prisoner and appealing for support for the former Yukos CEO.
The imprisonment of Khodorkovsky, who was "selectively convicted," was "the result of political manipulation," the Khodorkovsky Press Center website quoted the letter as saying.
The letter, which appeared in leading Prague newspapers on Wednesday, said Khodorkovsky had been jailed because he "openly expressed sympathy with the Russian political opposition" and criticized "the dubious economic views of the Kremlin."
