EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT TAKES A STANCE AGAINST ABUSE OF POWER IN RUSSIA

Transparency International

The European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee today threw its weight behind the campaign to bring those to account who are responsible for the death of anti-corruption hero Sergei Magnitsky.

The Committee has proposed an EU-wide visa ban and assets freeze for Russian officials involved in Magnitsky’s death, and in its cover-up. The Members of the European Parliament added a call to Russia to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into this case. The Committee expects the Council to take on a more coeherent human rights policy.

In November 2009, Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky died in prison. He had been held in detention for almost a year, after alleging wide-spread and systematic corruption and theft by government officials. The ensuing outrage at the brutality and injustice of his treatment led to an international campaign to bring those responsible to account.

In 2011 Magnitsky’s mother collected Transparency International’s Integrity Award on his behalf during the 14th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC). For more details on the case listen to this podcast with Elena Panfilova, Board Member of Transparency International and Director of our Russian Chapter. займ на карту займ на карту https://zp-pdl.com/emergency-payday-loans.php https://zp-pdl.com/emergency-payday-loans.php hairy woman
