The United Kingdom has imposed personal sanctions on 25 Russian citizens in accordance with the so-called «Magnitsky list,» sanctions previously imposed by the United States.
In addition to these Russians, sanctions have been imposed on Saudis involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (but not Mohammed bin Salman), as well as several North Korean intelligence officers responsible for political repression.
What is interesting to us at the Voice of Islam is that the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Viktor Grin (pictured), who oversaw (and may still be overseeing) the fight against our website (https://golosislama.com/news.php?id=30513) within that organization, was included in this list.
Of course, he and others like him are not currently on these lists for their actions against Russian Muslims. Moreover, the impact of these sanctions on them, entrenched as they are in Putin’s Russia, is currently insignificant.
Nevertheless, history teaches us that in modern information societies, where «every move is recorded,» active participants in criminal regimes sooner or later find themselves on very unpleasant lists — if not international ones from The Hague, then national ones for accountability.
