The rights watchdog Amnesty International is demanding that authorities in Ukraine "immediately and unconditionally" release Belarusian activist Ihar Koktysh. Koktysh has been detained for more than two years for the peaceful expression of his beliefs, Amnesty says. It considers him to be a prisoner of conscience. It adds that Koktysh should not be forcibly returned to Belarus, where it says he may be at risk of the death penalty on fabricated charges. Koktysh was detained in Ukraine after Belarus requested his extradition over what Amnesty calls a "baseless accusation" that he committed murder in Belarus in January 2001. Read the story here.

"That was clause 19 of the contract," Hattenberger jokes. Today the autographed instrument hangs above Gazprom's trading floor."Read the story here. Nov 12, 2009 at 18:34 |
