Russian human rights commissioner Oleg Mironov stated that if Chechen opposition leader Akhmed Zakayev were to be extradited from Denmark to Russia his trial must be open. International observers must come to Russia and monitor the trial. Russia's moratorium on capital punishment guarantees that Zakayev will not receive the death sentence, which is one of the terms of his extradition," Mironov said.
