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:

Thanks a lot for that, appreciated :P

 

Give his age and his cancer and his AIDS, he would seem a no-brainer for the list...but then the lack of coverage for him suggests he may not get a UK obituary...

Philip Carlo - American journalist, author, and biographer, now dying from ALS. Obit not assured.

 

Dead - ironically the cause of death was cancer, which overtook his ALS disease.

 

Four DDP teams - one of them belonging to Banshees Scream - will no doubt be anxiously waiting for a British obituary...

 

Edit - And here it is http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/210761...iter-pal-Carlo/ :D

Does anyone here speak Spanish, because Alencar is was trending on twitter (and i am wondering why)

Anyway, he's in hospital after suffering from a heart attack.

Just a question for the old-timers who've clocked up more than my (almost) six years. If we have Michael and Kirk Douglas available for selection on the 2011 DL, is that the first parent and child pairing on the same team?

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...

Nickers? Twist?

 

Please don't forget CP this thread is now a pinned topic. 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 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.
