The Moscow Helsinki human rights group is calling for a murder inquiry into the death of Sergei Magnitsky, the lawyer for Hermitage Capital who died in pretrial detention last year, after a criminal investigation accused officials of negligence.  ‘Magnitsky died of systematic torture and not of negligence.‘  Lyudmila Alexeyeva, of Dmitry Medvedev’s human rights council, laments the fact that the president’s constitutional powers have been useless in punishing those responsible.  Rights group Memorial is making headway on its attempt to declassify official documents relating to the Katyn massacre.  Russia denies Georgian accusations that attempt to link it with cases of attempted uranium smuggling, with a Foreign Ministry spokesperson accusing Mikhail Saakashvili of ‘presenting a lie as the truth‘.
