Russia charges exiled Memorial activist 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 organisation that was dissolved in Russia in 2021. Amnesty International publicised the case, and rights groups view it as part of a continuing crackdown on independent civil society and dissent inside Russia.
Why now: Rights groups and observers are highlighting what they see as another example of Russia criminalising legitimate human rights work.
