Russia charges exiled Memorial rights 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 Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization that was liquidated in Russia in 2021. Amnesty International reports the case, which critics see as part of Moscow's ongoing crackdown on independent civil society and dissent, drawing international condemnation.
Why now: It highlights Russia's continued prosecution of dissidents in exile and pressure on the Nobel-winning rights group Memorial.
