We don't need such hockey

Russia should apply response measures to Canada in connection with the adoption of the Magnitsky Law in the country. This was stated by the deputy head of the International Committee of the Federation Council, chairman of the Commission for the Protection of State Sovereignty Andrei Klimov, RIA Novosti reports .

“It seems logical to me to introduce response measures against Canada, Russia cannot but notice such hostile attacks,” Klimov said. “At one time, the“ Magnitsky Law ”was the first breakdown massaged in a sanctions attack on Russia from the United States even before the events in Kyiv, to everything.”

“Here we must accept the entire package that was accepted against the United States,” said the member of the SF. “The Foreign Ministry will orient us on personalities so that everything is done in civilized, so that people who show themselves in the vile business of maintaining international tension and deterioration of our bilateral relations are noted.”

The adoption by Canada of the "Magnitsky Law" will negatively affect relations with Russia; Moscow will be forced to accept response, according to the member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Sergey Zheleznyak. "The adoption of the so -called" Magnitsky Law "on the American template looks like an unreasonable political maneuver of the Canadian authorities, which negatively affects relations between our countries, noted United Russia. -Russia will be forced to take adequate response actions that the Canadian authorities will definitely not like."

On Wednesday in Canada, after receiving a formal sanction from the head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, the "law on victims of corrupt foreign governments" entered into force. It provides for the freezing of assets and the abolition of visas for foreign officials who are involved in a violation of human rights. The sanctions will affect officials from Russia, Venezuela, Vietnam, Iran, Myanmar. On October 5, the law unanimously adopted the House of Commons, and on Tuesday - the Senate.

In the Russian Foreign Ministry, in advance expressed disappointment with the adoption of an analogue of the Magnitsky Law in Canada. “When increasing the sanction pressure on us, based on the principle of reciprocity, we will mirror the list of Canadian figures who are prohibited from entering Russia,” said Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian diplomatic department.

In April 2013, the United States imposed the first sanctions and, in accordance with the "Magnitsky Law". Then 18 people were included in the sanctions list . All defendants in the list are prohibited from entering the United States, and their assets in American banks are frozen. In addition, citizens of the United States are prohibited from having business contacts with the person involved in the list. After that, the Magnitsky list has expanded repeatedly .
