Hello [firstname],I'm writing to personally invite you to join me and bestselling author Bill Browder at Worcester State University on October 13th at 4:00PM for a discussion about politics, corruption, and human rights violations at the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.Browder was targeted by Putin because he helped expose one of the largest corruption cases in Russia's history—a $230 million fraudulent tax refund, orchestrated by Putin's inner circle, in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the Russian people. Putin jailed the accountant who blew the whistle, Sergei Magnitsky—ultimately he died in custody after being severely beaten—but Browder continues to tell his story, and his bestselling books have received acclaim for their gripping details of Putin's reign of terror.Working with Browder and others, I demanded consequences for the corrupt Kremlin officials who killed Magnitsky. I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act which President Obama signed into law in 2012—sanctioning 58 individuals & 2 entities from Russia for Magnitsky's death & other human rights abuses.This will be a fascinating discussion moderated by by Worcester State University Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Anthony Dell’Aera. A Q&A will follow the discussion.
