Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev the full measure of their rights under the Russian Constitution to defend themselves against the alleged crimes; and (2) Russian authorities should act to prove that the cases against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev are not politically motivated, and that the state is not engaged in a campaign to reclaim or renationalize private enterprises.
