Moscow, 24 August: Human rights activists hope that investigators will manage to identify all those guilty of Hermitage Capital fund lawyer Sergey Magnitskiy’s death in a Moscow remand centre.

The Investigations Committee extended the term of the investigation of the criminal case of Magnitskiy’s death until 24 November.

“We would like to hope that the extension of the probe will be justified in terms of bringing to justice all those guilty [of the incident],” Tatyana Lokshina, deputy head of the Moscow office of Human Rights Watch, has told Interfax news agency.
