WASHINGTON, Rabi'II 23, 1437, February 02, 2016, SPA -- The United States imposed sanctions on Monday on five Russian officials it accuses of human rights abuses including four it said were involved in the 2009 death in prison of a corruption-fighting Russian lawyer, according to Reuters. The U.S. State and Treasury Departments identified Aleksey Anichin, Boris Kibis, Pavel Lapshov and Oleg Urzhumtsev as Russian officials involved in the death of Sergei Magnitsky, whose death in prison prompted criticism of Russia's human rights record . A fifth official named on Monday, Yevgeni Antonov, ran a prison in Chechnya notorious for human rights abuses, a senior State Department official said. As a result of the sanctions, the five are banned from obtaining U.S. visas, and any assets they hold in the United States are frozen. Magnitsky died at age 37 in 2009 after a year in jail during which he said he was mistreated and denied medical care in an effort to get him to confess to tax evasion and give evidence against a former client. He was found guilty of tax evasion in 2013 in a posthumous trial. Monday's addition to the list raises the number of people sanctioned under the 2012 law to 39, State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. --SPA 03:19 LOCAL TIME 00:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
