The mother of Sergei Magnitsky, who was tortured to death, issued a statement containing the following words:
“I know that my son’s tissue samples were destroyed, despite the fact that from the first day I repeatedly appealed to the investigation with a request to preserve all material evidence, including his organs and blood. From the case materials it follows that the video recordings made in the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center on the day of my son’s murder were destroyed. “In the Butyrka pre-trial detention center and in the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in Moscow, all complaints and appeals from my son and his lawyers about his inhuman conditions of detention and cruel treatment were destroyed.”
“In the Certificate of Death of my son, there is no mention of a closed head injury that resulted from his beating with a rubber truncheon in the last hour of his life. Two years after the death of my son, an entry was made in the patient registration register about the non-existent diagnosis of “diabetes mellitus”, on the basis of which the “accusation” against D.B. Kratov is now based.”
“My requests to conduct forensic examinations of medical documents in order to establish the circumstances of the forgery were denied by the investigation. I have also been denied an independent medical examination, as well as an independent medical examination of my son's tissue samples. I have been completely denied by the investigation even access to his tissues and blood, the last remaining piece of my son.”
Vladimir Putin defends these moral monsters, fighting off the adoption of the law by him. Magnitsky.
I’m not saying that Russia should have been the first to adopt this law.
