Taking action against human rights violators in Russia . : YC23-0/421-2E-PDF

The Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade (the “Committee”) heard testimony on 10 March 2016 from three witnesses about the state of democracy in Russia: William Browder, Head of the International Justice Campaign for Sergei Magnitsky and Author of the book Red Notice; Zhanna Nemtsova, daughter of the late Boris Nemtsov; and Vladimir Kara-Murza, Coordinator, Open Russia and Deputy Leader of the People's Freedom Party. Having heard the testimonies of Mr. Browder, Ms. Nemtsova and Mr. Kara-Murza, the Committee has reviewed the motion adopted by the Senate in May 2015, which called for the Government of Canada to take action against the perpetrators of human rights violations in Russia. The Committee also acknowledges the separate, and complementary, actions that have been taken by the House of Commons on this issue, particularly through the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
