WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Tuesday leveled sanctions against 12 Russians for human rights abuses including the detention and death of a celebrated lawyer who the United States says sought to expose fraud by Russian officials.
The sanctions were announced under a 2012 law named for the lawyer, Sergei L. Magnitsky, who died in detention in November 2009 and whose case has become a symbol of human rights abuses in Russia.
