Those set to be punished could include Russian officials implicated in the death of Sergei Magnitsky.

It will target individuals or organisations accused of human rights violations around the world, as well as those who profit financially from those abuses.

Many MPs have long been pushing for a tougher domestic sanctions regime against foreign states accused of human rights abuses, based on the US Magnitsky Act.Magnitsky's widow and mother took up the human rights case initially filed by him in Strasbourg Magnitsky spent 11 months in police custody after being arrested in 2008, during which he sustained injuries which human rights campaigners say were consistent with him being beaten and tortured.found there had been"multiple violations" of the European Convention of Human Rights, with Magnitsky being deprived of important medical care and the authorities had not complied with their duty to protect life.

Can they start with Boris Johnson?

When can we see the current administration in the dock then?

You seemed to of missed Muslim Brotherhood & their sponsors off this list? Why is that? When will you be sanctioning their brutal regime of crimes against human rights? DominicRaab

Half the problem is so called human rights. We now have immigrants in the UK who are so aware of their ‘human rights’ they dont think they need to obey our laws and stop when requested to by the police

The Govt better lookout, they abused all our rights by introducing Lockdown & creating mental health problems for many ppl.

This must include individuals responsible for Turkey's: ❌ Brutal+illegal invasion of Cyprus in 1974 ⛓️ Ongoing occupation of 37% of the island 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Human rights abuses against 1000+ people still missing and their families 🛳️ Illegal drilling in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone

So they'll be taking sanctions out on the UK then? Yes of course they are, in full swing...Brexit.

Is that including China?

* except the Saudis......

BBCScotlandNews But what about the many horrific human rights abuses committed by the English govt around the Middle East? Bbc doesn't mention that.

BBCPolitics There are no bigger human rights abusers than China. We should be imposing North Korea style sanctions on them immediately until they sort out Hong Kong, Tibet, Falun Gong and the countless other abuses the Chinese Communist Party is carrying out on a daily basis.

They must be sanctioning the royal family then i presume? 👀

So we are going after Trump then?

Expect the UK Government to impose sanctions on one of the worst human rights offenders, Israel.. No time soon!

So that the British government fucked then, BorisJohnson. TAKE OVER JEREMYCORBYN, Starmer is not up to it.

The irony of the UK Communist government pointing fingers at others for human rights abuse. We are an arrogant nation, with a complete lack of self awareness.

BBCPolitics UK Govt wants a NO DEAL Brexit Tories: an English national party, Brexit party, not better than Farage's party MEP Lamberts, 'there's no negotiation' with UK. UK Govt is failing Wales, Scotland & N Ireland BBCScotlandNews BBCWalesNews BBCnireland

Well let's hope the Tory party will be sanctioned first, they are the biggest human rights, abusers of all time

Sorry you are too weak to handle big gangsters like Israelis or Saudis, so stop opening your mouth 😁🤨🤧😎

That will bugger-up their donations.

Yemen might be a bit tricky.

UK Applying sanctions on itself and on Trump.

The Rohingya genocide is a series of ongoing persecutions by the Myanmar government against the Rohingya people. Aung San Suu Kyi has done nothing to the prosecutions of journalists and prevent military abuses. Aung San Suu Kyi and the Myanmar should be on the top of the list.

Except, the USA, Saudi Arabia and others we like.

DominicRaab human rights sanctions target countries that he isn't selling torture equipment to BBCWorld is the propaganda tool of UK govt racism

The cuck isn't doing anyone from the PRC (Parties dictatorship of not all of China)? Shame on the cowardly tool.

Where does that fit in with the extra judicial extractions and water boarding, our own governments institutions took part in.🤔

BBCPolitics They are going to sanction themselves?

Obviously your number one target should be 'Trump the pretender, as a fake BLM supporter and an instigator of attacking piecefull protesters outside the wrong house!

Maybe you should start in the Leicester sweat shops

Bet it won’t include the major abuser - Israel,

Will they impose them on themselves?

But they'll still support and fund Israel.

BBCPolitics UK sanctions itself.

Can a government sanction themselves?

We can't impose sanctions!!! We're desperate for trade!

Excellent news...though said with foreboding as to what they class as human rights that are being abused? My money is on that we get lots of absolute trivia and garbage being classified as a human right. Hope i am wrong.

UK has always been able to/had powers to set autonomous sanctions above & beyond EU/UN sanctions. Why it has not chosen to do so before now, i don't know. I'm confused as to why the existence of UK's long time sanctions setting powers is a headline. & what's it to do with brexit?

Sanction the PM too for dropping the ball on covid resulting in many deaths

That is Serco shut down then...

How will they sanction themselves? This government is known for violating the human rights of disabled people, people on benefits, older people, people of colour... hypocriticalmuch hypocrites

Will it sanction it self for the lie in Iraq?

Can we include this Tory Party in that. Surely the lack of management of the virus all the stupid mistakes like PPE fiasco and giving Dyson public money contract to re-invent the ventilator, the sheer amount of dead in the UK is surely a breach of our 'Human Rights’

Israeli government then?

BBCPolitics DominicRaab JamesCleverly what of those carried out in UK by UK and denied justice such as that done to victim injured party in very evident crime serious abuses by power esp from/under your party direction against victim 13/07/06?

That includes Pritti Patel then?

Presumably, they will start with America.

More bullshit

BBCPolitics But not Israel, because it's (((Raab))).

Netanyahu should be on the list.

They're going to sanction the cabinet?

BBCPolitics The greatest human rights abusers Cruels liars and enemies of humanity are Modi Netanyahu can UK ban both criminals ?

BBCPolitics Whatever people may think about Brexit. I think this is a positive step to be able to make sanctions without the EU, US or United Nations being involved.

Saudi Arabia then? *holds breath, turns blue*

Now they're taking away our Human Rights, just gets better by the say under this murderous mob.

Well I'm sure they DWP will be waiting to be sanctioned anytime.....soon...

Iran must be on top of the list

Wait till they find out who sells them all the equipment to murder oppress and torture.

Oh no, pritipatel could go to jail soon 🤭

Look out BorisJohnson, we are coming for us.

ah but who will sanction the sanctioners? how many disabled people have they killed now? we will never know the true toll sadly.

they're going to sanction Trump and the USA?

UK sanctions its own PM 😂

Watch the lefty masses shit on Britain again.

It should not matter if it's back or white.

UK coronavirus live: NHS to launch Covid-19 recovery service to treat long-term effectsThe 72nd anniversary of NHS will see clap for carers at 5pm, as day two of lockdown easing measures take place in England So as a key worker 15 weeks or so after having covid, still struggling to get over it and manage a full week at work. My trust expect those in similar position to manage it using our annual leave. Compassion for patients but yet again NHS management lack of compassion for staff Some of us will be watching this extremely carefully. The medical profession has a poor record when it comes to dealing with post-viral complications - especially the NHS. The pubs must have one hell of a spreadsheet of names!!
