Russia: Moscow court consolidates witch hunt of NGOs | Amnesty International
“The Russian authorities’ determination to silence any form of dissent
or criticism is astonishing. This week’s decision will further cripple
civil society in Russia and have a disastrous impact on thousands of
Russians who will see their chances of having their human rights
protected greatly diminished,” said John Dalhuisen, Europe and Central
Asia Programme Director at Amnesty International.
Russia's “Foreign Agents Law” was enacted on 21 November 2012.
