Canadians mull visa ban for Magnitsky officials
Canada is considering joining the United States in denying entry visas to Russian officials blamed for the death in jail of Hermitage Capital fund lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
“The ongoing impunity, and indeed, in this instance shocking impunity regarding Russian officials is as scandalous as it is shocking,” Irwin Cotler, a member of Canada’s Parliament, said in introducing a bill to the legislature that would slap a visa ban on the officials’ families as well as on themselves.
“This legislation will uphold the rule of law, will assure Russian human rights defenders that they are not alone, will protect Canadian business interests in Russia, and in particular will remember and honour the heroic sacrifice of Sergei Magnitsky,” Cotler said. “He acted on behalf of all of us in his protection of the rule of law.”
Earlier, officials implicated in the Magnitsky case came under a US visa ban, and the European Union is mulling visa sanctions as well.
In a tit-for-tat response, Moscow came up with a list of American officials to be denied entry to Russia. займы без отказа hairy woman https://zp-pdl.com/online-payday-loans-cash-advances.php https://zp-pdl.com/apply-for-payday-loan-online.php займ срочно без отказов и проверок
