The Dima Yakovlev Law (), Dima Yakovlev Bill, Dima Yakovlev Act, anti-Magnitsky law,〔http://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=386357 // Interfax〕 or Federal law of Russian Federation no. 272-FZ of 2012-12-28 "On Sanctions for Individuals Violating Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms of the Citizens of the Russian Federation"〔(A law on sanctions for individuals violating fundamental human rights and freedoms of Russian citizens has been signed ) // Kremlin.ru, 28 December 2012.〕 is a law in Russia that defines sanctions against U.S. citizens involved in violations of the human rights and freedoms of Russian citizens. It creates a list of citizens who are banned from entering Russia, and also allows the government to freeze their assets and investments. The law suspends the activity of politically active non-profit organisations which receive money from American citizens or organisations.〔 It also bans citizens of the United States from adopting children from Russia.〔 〕 The law was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 28 December 2012 and took effect on 1 January 2013. The law is informally named after a Russian orphan adopted by a family from Purcellville, Virginia, who died of heat stroke after being left in a parked car for nine hours.〔 The law is described as a response to the Magnitsky bill in the United States, which places sanctions on Russian officials who were involved in a tax scandal exposed by Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky against Russian officials; Magnitsky was later beaten and tortured by Russian officials.〔 ==Voting for the law in Russian Parliament== The bill passed the State Duma on 21 December 2012 and the Federation Council on 27 December 2012. In Duma in first reading one was against (Ilya Ponomarev); in second reading 4 against (Ilya Ponomarev, Dmitry Gudkov, Valery Zubov, Sergei Petrov - all from "A Just Russia" faction); in third and last reading - 8 against (same plus Andrei Ozerov from "A Just Russia", Oleg Smolin and Zhores Alferov from Communist Party of Russia, Boris Reznik from "United Russia"). In Federation Council just one against - Larisa Ponomareva (mother of Ilya Ponomarev). The United States Department of State said in a press release that it "deeply regret Russia’s passage of a law ending inter-country adoptions between the United States and Russia". United States Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul said that the law will “link the fate of orphaned children to unrelated political issues.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dima Yakovlev Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
