<p>Jailed Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky is appealing against his sentence of six more years in prison, a punishment seen as revenge for challenging ex-President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s power.</p>
<p>His lawyer Karinna Moskalenko launched the appeal on Friday on the final work day before a 10-day New Year holiday.</p>
<p>Ms Moskalenko says Khodorkovsky&#8217;s conviction on charges of stealing almost $30 billion (£20 billion) of oil between 1998 and 2003 from his Yukos company and laundering the proceeds had nothing to do with justice.</p>
<p>Khodorkovsky&#8217;s business partner Platon Lebedev received the same sentence. His lawyer also appealed.</p>
<p>The ruling drew strong condemnation from western governments, who called it evidence of the use of Russia&#8217;s judicial system for political ends.</p>
