Russia’s Justice Ministry has posted a registry of 12 people facing “temporary restrictive measures,” with Mikhail Khodorkovsky at the top. Deputy Justice Minister Oleg Sviridenko said the law was not excessive or a violation of constitutional rights, but a justified effort to restore the rule of law and justice. Listed people can face frozen bank funds, limits on transactions, and denial of consular services.
