Beschreibung:

According to the Litvinenko Inquiry: "Lord Bell, whose agency arranged for the photograph to be taken, gave evidence before me. He recalled that Mr Litvinenko had been “particularly keen that people should see what had happened to him”, and that, to that end, he had pulled his hospital gown to one side when the photograph was taken so that all the medical equipment
was visible."

Speaking to The Scotsman, Bell said: "The work for Litvinenko I did on a pro bono basis for the Litvinenko family. Once the story broke, they were going to be confronted by a media storm. Marina hardly speaks English for a start, and had never come across this before. The British media when it's in full cry is something quite frightening and it doesn't happen anywhere else. It's a horrible experience, the phone never stops ringing, you don't have a chance to think about anything."
