‘Blasphemous’ Posthumous Trial Against Magnitsky Begins with the Forced Appointment of a State Sanctioned Lawyer to Magnitsky
February 18, 2013
Today at 11 am at the Moscow Tverskoi District Court, a closed preliminary hearing will be held in the posthumous trial of the late whistle-blowing lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. At the previous hearing, the judge ordered the appointment of a state sanctioned lawyer to represent and give ‘legal advice’ to Sergei Magnitsky who has been dead for more than three years. The formal purpose of tomorrow’s hearing is for the judge to determine if Magnitsky has been ‘properly notified’ of the trial and if prosecutor has ‘obtained the confirmation of notification in writing’ from Magnitsky.
“The fact that this posthumous trial is going ahead, indicates that justice in Russia is turning into raw and outright blesphamy.

There is a special place in hell for the people organizing this,” said a Hermitage Capital representative. Read more
