Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 25, 2010 Any update on Vasily Aleksanyan? Does anyone think he'll actually get a mention/obit in the UK? Mulling over whether to put him in my list for next year, it's him, Penny Marshall (who I'm not even sure is ill) or Muhammad Ali (still making the odd public appearance). I was thinking about Sara Payne as well but she looks to have recovered now. very much like no news:- Former executive at Yukos freed on bail Published: Sunday, November 30, 2008 MOSCOW — An ailing former executive of the dismantled oil company Yukos who was jailed in 2006 was freed Tuesday after posting a $1.8 million bail, his lawyer said. Vasily Aleksanian, currently in a Moscow clinic being treated for AIDS and cancer, faces money laundering and embezzlement charges in a host of criminal cases against Yukos and its jailed founder, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The trial of Aleksanian, a 36-year-old U.S.-trained lawyer, was suspended in 2008 and he was moved to a clinic in February while lawyers demanded his release on health grounds. He is now partially blind. "The guards around his bed have been dismissed," Drew Holiner, Aleksanian's lawyer at the European Court of Human Rights, said by telephone. "But he is still in serious condition." The Strasbourg-based court last week condemned Aleksanian's detention and ordered him released on humanitarian grounds. Aleksanian and his lawyers will now be able to make sure he is tended to by the best doctors, something they were previously not permitted to do, Holiner said. Aleksanian had been a vice president at Yukos and was a lawyer for Khodorkovsky, who is serving an eight-year sentence in a Siberian prison on fraud and tax evasion charges. Once Russia's largest oil producer, Yukos was broken up and sold off in auctions in what was seen as the Kremlin's punishment for Khodorkovsky's political ambitions. Most of the company's assets were purchased at bargain prices by state-owned corporations. The Moscow City Court set bail for Aleksanian in December, but rights groups condemned the amount as unreasonably high. His lawyers posted pleas and bank account details on Web sites to try to raise the sum. Rights activists were initially doubtful that Aleksanian would be able to raise bail because the legal onslaught against Yukos left it bankrupt. Holiner said he did not know who the private donors were or how many contributed. "That's a private matter," he said. Holiner said he viewed his client's release, despite the huge bail, as Russian compliance, which "has to be welcomed." The treatment of another Yukos lawyer, Svetlana Bakhmina, also has attracted wide attention. Bakhmina became pregnant while in custody and her supporters had called on President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia to grant her amnesty. She was recently transferred to a clinic near Moscow and gave birth to a girl last month. Then there was this on the 7th Dec last year on the BBC Russian web site - via a babel fish translation: The process on business Of [aleksanyana] is newly postponed " Matter Of [aleksanyana]" the almost four years are pulled The [simonovskiy] law court of Moscow on Monday transferred the hearings of on business former jurist of YUKOS Vasiliy [Aleksanyan] on January 25. By this time must be preparedly new medical conclusion about the state of its health and, correspondingly, the ability to participate in the judicial sessions.

However, law court listened to the position of charge, which declares, that [Aleksanyan] at present is found on the dispensary treatment, does not pass intensive care, and there are no data about the need for its hospitalization. The specialists of the hematologic center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, where is treated [Aleksanyan], previously concluded that he has " is observed deep immunodeficiency with the negative of [dinamikoy]" , and any infection can kill it, in consequence of which to it extremely undesirably appear in the public places, including in the law court.

Matter about the taxes The Russian Attorney General's Office charges the former chief for the legal administration of YUKOS with the embezzlement of the actions of the company of " [Tomskneft]" , money laundering and to the nonpayment of taxes from personal income. In the opinion human rights activists, main " [vina]" [Aleksanyana] consists in the failure to give accusatory indications against Mikhail Khodorkovsky. On April 6, 2006 The [simonovskiy] law court consented to its attraction to the criminal responsibility and content under the guards. Legal procedure was on business stopped in February 2008 in connection with the status of the health of defendant, which was being located in the hospital under the protection. On December 8, 2008 [Mosgorsud] changed [Aleksanyanu] the measure for suppression to the guarantee in the size of 50 million rubles. Since January 2009, The [simonovskiy] law court regularly conducts sessions regarding the possibility of the renewals of process, on which [Aleksanyana] present the attorneys. Make of that what you can! Then there was this on the 25th June 2010... The [simonovskiy] law court of Moscow ended criminal case in the attitude of the former Vice President of YUKOS Vasiliy [Aleksanyan]. [Aleksanyan], which suffers a number of chronic diseases, confirmed that it does not object to the curtailment of the matter without the right of rotation after the rehabilitation. Attorney [Aleksanyana] [Gevorg] Of [dangyan] in the interview BBC said that this solution makes possible for his client to study his treatment; however, agreement with the curtailment of the matter does not indicate agreement with the charge.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 17, 2010 Just popping in to say that since certain elements have decided to harass me off-site about updating this list that I will NOT be updating this list this year. In fact, just out of spite, I won't even be removing the names of people who are dead from it. Seriously, we have almost half a month before the DDP deadline, so there was no reason that it couldn't have waited a bit longer to be updated. I have enough things to do/worry about without needing to be constantly bothered about updating a list on a forum. Geez... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fine one, but it needs to stay alive, and in a well updated format. If you now can't be half arsed to do so, then I would like to see it's pinned status removed and it be slung out into the general area where it can slide up and down the board due to the level of interest it really desurves. Edited December 19, 2010 by Octopus of Odstock ok then. I think CP's quite right . I also belive that this thread has gone past it's due date and purpose. There's the I & P thread and there are enough ideas around. The only updated with this are TUM saying they're dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
