Human rights must be the cornerstone of our foreign policy agenda. 10 years later and Sergei continues to help us uphold this standard. Today, we mourn him and we carry on his legacy by remembering: we are all capable of rising to the challenge and standing up for justice.

The Sergei Magnitsky & #GloMag Acts hold accountable perpetrators of violence & human rights abuses who may never face justice in their home countries - including those involved in Sergei's death. They make clear that the US stands w/ those whose rights & freedoms are repressed.

Inspired by his bravery and his story, I introduced The Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, and soon after, the Global Magnitsky Act with my colleague, the late Senator John McCain.

Magnitsky was a tax lawyer who, in 2008, was jailed without trial and tortured after reporting his discovery of a tax scheme involving high-level Russian officials.   He spent nearly a year in jail and died 8 days before he was to be released.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Sergei Magntisky who, in his life and legacy, contributed to the fight against global corruption and inspired two of the most significant human rights accountability laws that exist today. Thread: https://t.co/U5fKdxmtLn
