Russia has
put the U.S. on warning: Do not publish a list of Russians banned from entering the U.S. on account of human rights abuses.
[T]he Russian foreign ministry has drawn up its own blacklist of US
officials who are alleged to have committed human rights violations.

| Sergei Magnitsky |
....
The Magnitsky Act passed by Washington in 2012 blacklists Russian
officials accused of involvement in his death. The names - which have up
to now been kept secret - are due to be made public on Friday.
....
Mr Magnitsky had accused [Russian] officials of stealing $230m (£150m) from the
state through fraudulent tax rebates. His family and rights groups say
he was badly beaten and denied medical treatment in custody.
....
The posthumous trial of Mr Magnitsky - who died aged 37 in pre-trial
detention after developing pancreatitis - opened in Moscow in March but
was adjourned shortly afterwards.
