Litvinenko Justice Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Litvinenko Justice Foundation is a non-profit organization established to demand justice for Alexander Litvinenko who was poisoned by polonium-210 in Great Britain on November 1, 2006.

According to organizers, they will do “everything possible to make sure that suspects will stand trial in the U.K. and will not be shielded from justice by the Russian state.” [1]

The Litvinenko Justice Foundation was founded by Alexander Litvinenko's widow, Marina, and his two friends, Boris Berezovsky and Alex Goldfarb. They were joined by a prominent human rights lawyer Louise Christian.

The Foundation was registered in London, United Kingdom on 2nd March. The Litvinenko Justice Foundation is active due to a 500,000 GBP donation made by one of its founders, Boris Berezovsky [1].
