The Epoch Times Human rights violators, corrupt officials, and cyber hackers will be banned from visiting Australia and spending their ill-gotten gains in the country after the Australian Parliament passed a Magnitsky-style law.
Titled the Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Thematic Sanctions) Bill 2021, the legislation passed the lower house of the Australian parliament on Thursday.
The Bill is partly based on the United Statesâ Magnitsky Act, which is named after lawyer Sergei Magnitsky for exposing major tax fraud committed by Russian officials. He was later imprisoned, tortured, and died in 2009.
