Putin To Pardon Jailed Former Oil Tycoon

Russian president Vladimir Putin has said he will pardon jailed oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

The former head of Yukos Oil was originally imprisoned for nine years in 2005 after being convicted of fraud.

In 2010 he was put on trial again and found guilty of money-laundering and embezzlement. He and his business partner, Platon Lebedev, were jailed for another seven years.

Both trials have been criticised and Khodorkovsky has often been described as a prisoner of conscience.

Mr Putin's opponents have accused him of having the tycoon jailed to prevent him going into politics.
