Russian human rights champion plays down US officials blacklist
Ekho Moskvy
Text of report by Gazprom-owned, editorially independent Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy on 3 November
[Presenter] Eleven US citizens have been included on a Russian list similar to the Magnitskiy list [of personae non gratae]. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said that it includes people to do with Guantanamo [US military prison] and the violation of the rights of foreign citizens on the territory of the [United] States.
A representative of the Moscow branch of the Human Rights Watch international human rights organization, Tatyana Lokshina, does not attach much importance to the emergence of the reciprocal Russian list.
[Lokshina] I personally would not attach much attention to the emergence of this Russian equivalent of the Magnitskiy list. In reality, it is simply a question of retaliatory measure. Yes, the Americans adopt some kind of a list. In response, Russia also adopts some kind of a list as a diplomatic move. The extent to which this list exists in realty is not obvious either. Today we don’t know anything about this list, apart from the idea that it contains surnames of some officials from the United States of America who are involved in keeping Russian citizens in custody, for example, Mr But [also spelt as Bout]. In this case, it is clearly a retaliatory step.
[Presenter] I shall recall that Moscow promised retaliatory steps to the list – which had been drawn up in the USA – of Russian officials who could have been involved in the death in a Moscow pre-trial detention centre of the lawyer of the Hermitage Capital Fund, Sergey Magnitskiy. buy viagra online быстрые займы на карту female wrestling https://zp-pdl.com/best-payday-loans.php https://zp-pdl.com hairy girl
