Russia frees 'political prisoner' Sergei Mokhnatkin
by Darius Kadivar on Thu Apr 26, 2012 09:17 AM PDTRussia frees 'political prisoner' (bbc)
A man branded a political prisoner by Russian opposition politicians has been freed, two days after being pardoned by outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev.
Sergei Mokhnatkin was serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence for hitting a policeman at an opposition rally.
His release was welcomed by opposition activists.
But they have expressed disappointment that none of the other 32 "political prisoners" on a list they submitted to Mr Medvedev has been pardoned.
That list includes former tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man, who has been in jail since 2005 and faced a new conviction for embezzlement in 2010.
His supporters say he is the victim of a politically-motivated campaign which seeks to punish him for backing opponents of incoming President Vladimir Putin.Russian opposition MPs snub Putin with walkout

A Russian opposition party has walked out of parliament after a speech by President-elect Vladimir Putin which called for political unity.
The walkout by A Just Russia came after Mr Putin said Oleg Shein, the party's mayoral candidate in the city of Astrakhan, should have gone to court instead of launching a hunger strike.
Mr Shein, who lost in the 4 March elections, alleges electoral fraud.
It is the first time a whole party has walked out while Mr Putin was speaking.
