Imprisonment Of Aleksandr Nikitin

EDM number 1091 in 1995-96, proposed by Tom Cox on 03/07/1996.

That this House notes with very deep concern the imprisonment of Aleksandr Nikitin being held in solitary confinement in St Petersburg FSB prison under a charge of espionage since February 1996; further notes that the charge of espionage against Mr Nikitin is based on his involvement with the Belana Foundation of Norway which monitors environmental issues in North Western Russia and in particular on the nuclear safety position of the Russian Northern Fleet; further expresses concern that while Mr Nikitin is a civilian attempts are being made by the Russian secret police, the FSB, for him to be tried before a military court; and therefore calls on the British Government to make inquiries with the Russian Government as to the present position of the case involving this man.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
