In Russia, a criminal case has been opened against the famous businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky under an article on terrorism.
As reported by the Federal Security Service (FSB), Khodorkovsky, who previously headed one of the largest oil companies in Russia, Yukos, is the founder of an organization called the Committee Against War.
The FSB statement claims that “this the structure financed various military formations in Ukraine, planned a violent seizure of power in Russia and called for terrorist acts.”
On these grounds, a terrorism case was opened against Khodorkovsky and other members of the organization.
Among the members of the committee, as the department notes, are former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, politician Vladimir Kara-Murza, released as part of a prisoner exchange between Russia and Western countries in Ankara, as well as former world chess champion Garry Kasparov.
Some of them were previously included in Russian lists of “terrorists and extremists.”
