Stop the Untouchables. Justice for Sergei Magnitsky.

Support Magnitsky Act

Democratic Russia Committee

Why this is Important

This act directly imposes sanctions on persons responsible for the detention, abuse, and death in prison of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who discovered a falsified $ 230 millions tax refund paid against the law to criminals.

The U.S. State Department imposed sanctions without waiting for the debate in Congress to the bill to ban people involved into “Sergey’s Magnitsky list” to enter the U.S. and the arrest of their accounts in U.S. banks. This action, however, might stop Congress to pass this bill or will not allow providing more stringent sanctions against a larger number of Russian officials. The administration sees no need to take this additional law.
