Magnitsky memorial meeting held in Moscow

Interfax

Several dozen people got together in Moscow on Sunday to mark the 40th birthday of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer for British hedge fund Hermitage Capital who died in jail in 2009 after being denied essential medical assistance.

Those present were shown a film about Magnitsky’s life and death, and many of them took the floor, Solidarnost (Solidarity) opposition coalition spokeswoman Olga Shorina told Interfax.

Those who attended the event included Magnitsky’s mother, Natalya Magnitskaya, People’s Freedom Party (PARNAS) Co-Chairman Boris Nemtsov, and rights defender Valery Borshchev.

Magnitsky, who had his birthday on April 8, was charged with tax evasion. He died in a detention center in Moscow on November 16, 2009. Later a criminal investigation was launched into his death.

The criminal proceedings against Magnitsky were quashed when he died but resumed after the Constitution Court ruled that their termination ran against the constitutional principle of presumed innocence, and that criminal actions against suspects who had died were to be resumed if their families wished so.

However, Natalya Magnitskaya’s lawyers object to the resumption of proceedings against Magnitsky, denying they have requested this, while Interior Ministry investigators dealing with the case are planning to pass over their findings to court.

On April 3, Moscow’s Ostankinsky Court upheld the resumption of proceedings against Magnitsky. срочный займ на карту онлайн займ на карту https://zp-pdl.com/best-payday-loans.php https://zp-pdl.com/get-quick-online-payday-loan-now.php быстрые займы онлайн
