Tzivin: "If arrested abroad – Russia is better then the western countries"

NEWSRU – a website in Russian – published today an article about felonies by Israelis in the field of diamond trade. In the article, attorney Tzivin relates to the matter of the treatment by Russian authorities of Israeli detainees and prisoners. Tzivin said in the article: "My clients receive good treatment from the Russian authorities, in much higher standards than the custom in western Europe and the U.S., there I have a lot of experience. It is manifested in the imprisonment conditions and in the way the interrogation is held". Tzivin also said: "From my previous experience, I know that this may sound strange to certain people, but the demonic stigma which the west nurtures on the Russian jails and interrogations, is tendentious and contrary to the truth".
