Switzerland has granted freed Russian political dissident and former oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky a three-month visa, Swiss foreign ministry spokeswoman Sonja Isella said in an e-mailed statement.

The ministry, citing privacy concerns, declined to comment further on the so-called Schengen visa, which allows Khodorkovsky to travel freely in Switzerland and to other European countries that have accepted and implemented the visa.
