This areicle is about how the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that the Russian's imprisonment of accused spy Igor Sutyagin. The court says that the trial was bad and that he had been held on reprimand for too long. Igor has been prisioner for 11 years, and had moved from jail to jail untill he was swapped last July. Durring all of his time in jail he continued to proclaim his innocence.

I think it is interesting how people's opinions can be so dramatically swayed from country to country. Russia sees this man as a spy, while other countries sees him as a man unjustly imprisioned. Most of our opinion has to do with weather this affects us or not. That's why we just have to hope the courts are right.
