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 civil rights organisation awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. Amnesty International has publicised the case, denouncing it as persecution for legitimate human rights work amid Russia's widening crackdown on dissent and independent civil society.
Why now: Amnesty International's report on the new extremism charges has drawn attention to Russia's continued persecution of Memorial and its activists.
