Russian President Dimitry Medvedev's Human Rights Council announced the results
of its independent investigation into the death of Sergei Magnitsky. The Human
Rights Council concluded that Sergei Magnitsky's arrest and detention was
illegal; he was denied access to justice by the courts and prosecutors of the
Russian Federation; he was investigated by the same law enforcement officers
whom he had accused of stealing Hermitage Fund companies and illegally
obtaining a fraudulent $230,000,000 tax refund; he was denied necessary medical
care in custody; he was beaten by 8 guards with rubber batons on the last day
of his life; and the ambulance crew that was called to treat him as he was
dying was deliberately kept outside of his cell for one hour and 18 minutes
until he was dead. The report of the Human Rights Council also states the
officials falsified their accounts of what happened to Sergei Magnitsky and, 18
months after his death, no officials had been brought to trial for his false
arrest or the crime he uncovered. The impunity continued in April 2012, when
Russian authorities dropped criminal charges against Larisa Litvinova, the head
doctor at the prison where Magnitsky died.</text>

Council of Europe, Freedom House, and Amnesty International, among others, have
