Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Browder, for presenting to our committee today. You have shed light on an extremely important human rights issue. What happened to Sergei Magnitsky is a truly shocking and very heinous violation of human rights. It is an unfortunate example of what many more freedom-loving Russians continue to experience within Russia.
To your knowledge, to what extent has the Russian government deteriorated in terms of Russian citizens who are interested in the democratic process and how they are treated?
