Russia's Nobel Prize-winning rights group Memorial branded 'extremist'
Russia's Supreme Court has declared the Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights group Memorial an extremist organization. This move intensifies legal penalties for those who support or work with the group. Memorial, founded to document Soviet-era repression, has documented modern-day political prisoners and rights abuses. The group was previously liquidated in 2021 and its international arm declared undesirable.
