Enforced Isolation from Family

Below are examples of the repeated requests of Sergei Magnitsky to see his wife, young children, mother and other family members while in detention – all of which were denied by Oleg Silchenko as “inexpedient.” Silchenko even denied Magnitsky’s request to speak with his 8 year-old son by telephone.

For so long as Magnitsky would not recant his testimony against the Untouchables and the theft of $230 million from the Russian state, he would be cruelly denied contact with his family.
