The Ukrainian filmmaker and former political prisoner Oleg Sentsov, has accepted the Sergei Magnitsky Human Rights Award during the ceremony in London.

The ceremony, traditionally held in London, was broadcast live on YouTube channel Hermitage Capital Management as Sergei Magnitsky worked at this investment fund, the Voice of America reports.

Sentsov received the award back in November last year, but the director could not accept it personally as he was in Russian prison on charges of preparing terrorist attacks in annexed Crimea.

Senator John McCain's daughter, Meghan, handed the award over to the former political prisoner. John McCain was posthumously given the Magnitsky Award last year.
