"Mr President, I agree with everything Mr Mikolášik said, with one exception: Sergei Magnitsky was not a human rights activist. He was an ordinary, decent man who did not want to steal. It was only because he did not want to steal, because he wanted no involvement in corruption, that he was tortured and died in a Russian prison. Mr Mikolášik is absolutely right that it is our duty today, as Ms Ojuland also pointed out, to stand up for this ordinary man, this ordinary Russian, who did not want to steal, who did not want any part in the activity that is possibly Russia’s most profitable industry right now, namely corruption. It is our duty to do this very minimum, to do what Ms Ojuland’s report proposes, which is to introduce a visa ban and freeze the assets of those suspected of involvement in the killing of this innocent man, a man who, in a situation of wrongdoing, of the type we have seen in Russia, tried to do the right thing. That is our duty, our obligation. If we take seriously what we refer to as European values, if we take ourselves seriously, we should do everything we can to prevent the recurrence of what has happened and to speak out about it."@en1
