EURO MEDIA LTD: ALDE Organizing high-level seminar on Russia . Processed and transmitted by Thomson Reuters ONE. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. On Wednesday, 05 June, the ALDE Group in the EP is organizing a high-level seminar entitled “Russian Political Prisoners”, which seeks to increase attention to the political prisoners in Russia and find solutions on how to help those people.

“The EU can’t overlook its own values and principles while building relations with Russia. There are major problems and these need to be urgently attended to. Russia needs to start fulfilling its international obligations in the Council of Europe and the OSCE” – said MEP Ojuland ahead of the event.

“Instead of long awaited liberation of the political prisoner number one – Mikhail Khodorkovsky, we observe the persecutions of activists and citizens for practicing their constitutional rights. At the moment the “Bolotnaya” and “Pussy Riot” cases have our increased attention, but unfortunately there are many others in Russia who face the same repression” – continued Ojuland.

“Impunity of the gross human rights violators stays as a central problem in cases of living and fallen victims of Putin’s regime as it has happened in Magnitsky’s case”. Among the distinguished participants is the president of the ALDE Group in the EP, former PM of Belgium Guy Verhofstadt; the political leader of the People’s Democratic Union (PDU), former PM of Russia Mikhail Kasyanov; nominee to Nobel Peace Prize, chair of Moscow Helsinki Group Lyudmila Alekseeva; the president of the Institute of Modern Russia Pavel Khodorkovsky; the leader of Sergey Magnitsky Global campaign Bill Browder.
