A protester holds a picture of Mikhail Khodorkovsky of Russia during a demonstration in Moscow May 31, 2008, marking the third anniversary of the date when Khodorkovsky was sentenced. The former owner of oil firm YUKOS was arrested on charges of fraud and tax evasion and is now serving an eight-year prison term in Siberia. Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met a lawyer representing Khodorkovsky this month, a diplomatic source said on Saturday, after a magazine reported he was lobbying for the jailed tycoon to be moved to Moscow.
