Sky News

Britain reportedly bans 60 Russians linked to the prison death of an anti-corruption lawyer – and Moscow demands an explanation.

Russia’s ambassador to Britain is expected to demand an explanation from the Foreign Office about reports that the UK has blacklisted Russian officials for their alleged role in the death of anti-corruption lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.

Home Secretary Theresa May has sent a list of 60 Russians, including judges and intelligence officers, to the British embassy in Moscow banning them from entering the UK, according to The Sunday Times.

The Foreign Office has issued a statement saying it does not allow individuals into the UK where there is evidence of human rights abuses.

Russia to quiz Britain over Magnitsky list – report

Reuters

Russia’s ambassador to Britain will demand a response from the Foreign Office after reports that London might have blacklisted Russian officials for their alleged role in the prison death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, RIA news agency said on Sunday.

The Sunday Times reported that British Home Secretary Theresa May had sent a list of 60 Russians, including judges, intelligence officers and prosecutors, to the British embassy in Moscow and that they could be banned from entering the country.

Relations between Moscow and London have been strained over security, diplomatic and human rights issues for years, particularly since the 2006 murder in London of Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who died from poisoning with radioactive polonium-210.

Britain and other nations also condemned Russia for the 2009 killing of anti-corruption lawyer Magnitsky – probably beaten to death, according to the Kremlin’s own human rights council.

The Voice of Russia

British Home Secretary Theresa May has sent a list o f 60 Russian citizens barred from entering Great Britain in connection with the Magnitsky case, London’s Sunday Times newspaper reported.
On the ‘blacklist’ are judges, police officers and the prosecutor’s office.

Minister for Immigration Damian Green reported about the details of the blacklist in a letter to a British parliament member. In the letter, the minister said the list of 60 officials compiled by the U.S. Congress committee was sent to the British embassy in Moscow. It will be applied when U.K. visa appliations are considered, Green noted.

The British embassy in Moscow gives no comments so far on the information.

May bans 60 Russians over corruption scandal

The Sunday Times

Downing Street is facing a diplomatic row with the Kremlin after blacklisting 60 Russian intelligence officers and top officials linked to a corruption scandal. The home secretary, Theresa May, has sent the British embassy in Moscow names of the officials, including judges, intelligence officers and prosecutors, implicated in the torture and death of a young lawyer.

Sergei Magnitsky, 37, was beaten and died in a Moscow jail in 2009 after uncovering a corruption scheme involving tax officials and police.

The ban on officials entering Britain will anger the Kremlin when relations were starting to thaw. Ties have been strained since the radioactive poisoning of the former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko in London six years ago.

This weekend, Sergei Markov, a former adviser to President Vladimir Putin, threatened reprisals. “Russia will never recognise such a situation and will reply. That means that those officials who took part in making the decision to restrict the rights of officials to travel will have their own rights restricted,” he said.

A similar move by the United States last year provoked tit-for-tat retaliation by the Kremlin which banned some American officials from visiting the country.

Details of the blacklist have been disclosed by the immigration minister, Damian Green, in a letter to a Tory MP. Green said a list of 60 officials, including prosecutors, judges, tax inspectors, police and prison chiefs, compiled by an American congressional committee, had been sent to the British embassy in Moscow. “[It] will be considered if an entry clearance application is received from any of the named individuals,” Green wrote.
