FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “Normally if they disapprove of something they approach the host government or write a private letter. But this is an extraordinary diplomatic initiative and shows how rattled the Russians are.” Mr MacShane said he would be consulting fellow MPs about the hostile demarche.
“It looks like an attempt to intimidate me. Presumably this was done on the orders of Moscow.” Mr MacShane and other MPs discussed a wide range of Russian human rights issues last Wednesday, most notably the case of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died a horrible death in jail in 2009 after medical care was withheld. Mr Magnitsky had uncovered an enormous tax fraud that he said was perpetrated by a corrupt gang of policemen and other state officials.
The United States has banned the entry of dozens of Russian officials involved in the case and friends of the late lawyer are pushing for the UK government to follow suit. The Russian government has insisted it is still investigating the Magnitsky case however and has condemned foreign criticism of the matter as meddling in its internal affairs.
Akhmed Bilalov, the vice president of the Russian Olympic Committee, said he expected Mr Putin to attend the London Olympics regardless of what Mr MacShane wanted.
“I am expecting Mr Putin to be in London,” he said. “That is if British MPs do not object. Sport and politics should not mix.”
