As I understand, Alexey means, that we can do nothing _real_. Russian
government will not notice any pressure from some geeks.

And technically even me in Moscow do not have all the evidences to
make the situation clear (when we can hope, but should not expect the
official trial to be fair). So official statement (if any) should be
very accurate.

But, of course we could support him personally with letters and so on
if we _personally_ believe in his innocence. I hope we will find such
possibility.

I'm trying to get some contacts of the lawyers/family, will mail on the
list as soon as I get any news.
