The New Times weekly published Monday the second installment of a column buy jailed former Yukos head Mikhail Khodorkovsky dedicated to inmates he has gotten to know during his six-year stay in prison.
The new story describes a 22-year-old man identified as Alexei, who is serving a sentence for child abuse. Khodorkovsky writes that the man is a victim of a show campaign against pedophiles and was only jailed because his fiance was underage.
