Help Vasily Aleksanyan

45 Signatures 
Target: Russian government
Region: Russia

Petition Background (Preamble):

Vasily Aleksanyan was arrested in 2006 just days after his appointment as Vice President of Yukos.

He was imprisoned for embezzlement and money laundering. Soon after, a medical revealed that Mr Aleksanyan had contracted HIV/AIDS.

Mr Aleksanyan is being denied life-saving medical treatment and his condition is now critical.

Russia has ignored repeated injunctions from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) requiring that Vasily be hospitalized in a specialist civilian AIDS clinic.

Petition:

We, the undersigned, call on the Russian government to grant Mr Aleksanyan treatment immediately and uphold the judgement of the ECHR.
