BREAKING: UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to announce implementation of U.K. Magnitsky Act today. First group of sanctions will be applied to Sergei Magnitsky’s killers. Huge milestone in our 10 campaign for justice. amp.ft.com/content/cdf084…
Foreign Secretary Raab described Sergei Magnitsky as the “Solzhenitsyn of his time” for the horror he had to endure before dying at the hands of the brutal Russian state.
The U.K. Magnitsky Act will be a particularly powerful tool because every tin pot dictator wants to keep a mansion in Belgravia and send their kids to the best British boarding schools.
The implementation of the U.K. Magnitsky Act also raises serious questions about why the EU is dragging their feet on the EU Magnitsky Act. They announced their intention in December 2019 but as of now, still nothing.
