<p>Russia&#8217;s foreign ministry has angrily rejected Western criticism of jailed oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky&#8217;s conviction in a second criminal case, saying it amounted to pressuring the court.</p>
<p>Khodorkovsky, once Russia&#8217;s richest man, was convicted of stealing oil from his own company and laundering the proceeds in a verdict likely to keep the tycoon who once challenged the power of Vladimir Putin behind bars for several more years.</p>
<p>US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton led a chorus of political figures in the United States and Europe in condemning the verdict, saying that it raised &#8220;serious questions about selective prosecution and about the rule of law being overshadowed by political considerations&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that the claims of selective justice were unfounded.</p>
