A terrible story is set in the moment to the former lawyer of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vasily Aleksanian from. After being in April 2006 as part of a process of Yukos, was arrested, he sits in custody. It is only now become public that has been known for some time that he is suffering from HIV and the disease is already advanced. It is also known for over a year that He is almost completely blind. Under Russian law, he would be free, not to mention HIV but because of the blindness. But rather than let him out he is kept in squalid conditions completely. He suffered from depression since his arrest in many other serious diseases, including tuberculosis, hepatitis and more. This instructive story but I would like to shed more light.
Vasily Aleksanian, who had previously defended as a lawyer for Khodorkovsky, took over on 30 March 2006 the post of vice president of Yukos and was only 6 days later arrested. Three months later, brought the charges against him, together with other members of society "Tomskneft" to the ownership of this and a few blocks of shares have illegally appropriated. The center of medical rehabilitation of the Federal Prison on 20 June 2006 found that Alexanyan is after his arrest in one eye is totally blind and the vision on the other 0.01%. According to Russian laws must be changed in this case, the pre-trial detention in some other form of custody. Alexanyan remained in prison.
was in September 2006 when the doctors made the diagnosis of HIV positive, according to Russian law, there were only two options (without regard to his blindness): Either Alexanyan remains in custody, the conditions must but are adjusted so, that a strong anti-retroviral therapy can be performed, or he goes for it in a hospital. It was not conducted therapy, the conditions have not improved. The result is that according to his lawyer, Elena Lvova, the concentration of immune cells by 17% in September 2006 to 4% in October 2007, the normal concentration is decreased. Due to the dilapidated conditions in the prison and the lack of immunity Aleksajan erkankte in many diseases.
Alexanyan has probably want to do at that time his HIV disease not public. He feared libel and doubts about his "morality". He was obviously the hope out of jail get out to come. Now it is the prosecutor, Vladimir Khomutovsky, and has pre-empted his illness without the consent of the accused made public. But this reduction is obviously not the first nor the last to Alexanyan had to suffer.
Because of the lack of medical care of their clients, the lawyers Alexanyan switching the European Court of Human Rights (EPM). This was the first time on 27 Adopted in November 2007 to release the prisoners in-patient treatment. On 6 December there was a second declaration of the court that the defendant until 10 December will be released for treatment. And the second demand was ignored, the EPM at 21. December for the third time the medical treatment required of the accused and threatened to establish, in the event of a deterioration in his condition or his death, the breach of Article 2 ("The right to life") and Article 3 (prohibition of torture "). Even the third requirement has been ignored.
I will not go further into details of the legal proceedings of this case. Regardless of the guilt of the Alexanyan actually alleged crimes, the facts are on his UHaft absolutely obvious. Anyone who doubts can see a brief part of the performance of Alexanyan before the court at the end of this post.
The human atrocities of this case is almost immeasurable and should not be ignored. Important to transport the authorities know more than a year from the disease of the prisoner, Alexanyan with other infectious diseases in sick prisoners. He did not even get regular visits from his doctor.
Aleksajan reports saying that during his interrogation he had been blackmailed by the prosecutor. It was offered to him to be released on the signature of incriminating evidence against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev in the inpatient treatment. It is itself the complicated mechanism has been declared, as it should go from pay, etc. He got rejected. He could not be as half-dead man to life as the lives of some other exchange. For the moment runs nömlich another case against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, on the two could be sentenced to a further fine of up to 23 years.
These methods of prosecutors and investigators we know. Anyone who is ever been in the GDR or in other eastern bloc countries with officials of the State Security in touch knows that these practices. Who wants to be invited into one of the former Stasi prison (eg Hohenschönhausen in Berlin) to go there, the guide made by former inmates. Or do you think Aleksajan lying, why?
I think a man who after the official medical report of the government funded Prison hospital, is terminally ill and suffering tremendous pain needs. Also shows for me the very fact that Mikhail Khodorkovsky Aleksajan not be sold, not blackens that Yukos by Russian standards actually a very clean club was, must have worked in the honest people. A man who stands so close to death, does not need to lie.
I just hope that people wash their hands in the blood Alexanyan, stand for sometime now need.
