Russia charges exiled Memorial advocate with extremism
Original: Russia: Exiled advocate faces “extremism” charges over human rights work for Nobel Peace Prize-winning NGO Memorial
Russian authorities have brought "extremism" charges against a human rights advocate now living in exile over their work for Memorial, the Russian rights group awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. Amnesty International reported the case. Critics see it as part of Moscow's broader crackdown on independent civil society and dissent, which has already forced Memorial to disband and driven many activists abroad.
Why now: Fresh evidence of Russia's escalating persecution of human rights defenders and the Nobel-winning group Memorial.
