According to the organization's official statement, the claim will be considered by the Supreme Court on November 25 & nbsp; The & nbsp; blame for the Memorial systematic violation of the law “ On & nbsp; Foreign Agents '' is imputed. In the & nbsp; case, if the claim is satisfied, the activities of the center will officially be outlawed. How the closure of the Memorial and MK center can turn out for & nbsp; Russia I found out from & nbsp; Nikolay Svanidze, a member of the & nbsp; President & nbsp; RF President & nbsp; Development of Civil Society and & nbsp; Human Rights Council.
In & nbsp; Russia may become another smaller human rights organization. Within the & nbsp; framework of the fight against & nbsp; foreign agents, which was unleashed by the prosecutor's office and & nbsp; other government bodies, the & nbsp; human rights center Memorial may be liquidated in the near future. The & nbsp; organizations received a notification from the & nbsp; Supreme Court, according to which the Prosecutor General's Office filed a lawsuit for & nbsp; liquidation of the international Memorial.
The organization is charged with a systematic violation of the law on & nbsp; foreign moments. We are talking about & nbsp; that & nbsp; “ Memorial '' does not & nbsp; accompany its materials with the signature “ This material was created by a person acting as a foreign agent. ''
In the & nbsp; case, if the claim is satisfied, the oldest human rights organization in & nbsp; Russia will be forced to cease its activities. The court session on the & nbsp; claim of the General Prosecutor's Office is scheduled for & nbsp; 25 & nbsp; November. On the & nbsp; Memorial website the official appeal of the organization was published. Human rights activists say that the & nbsp; law “ On & nbsp; foreign agents '' was “ originally conceived as an instrument of reprisals against & nbsp; human rights organizations. ''
According to the & nbsp; opinion of Nikolai Svanidze, the possible closure of the Memorial could strike at the & nbsp; reputation of Russia at the & nbsp; international level. As Svanidze noted in a & nbsp; conversation with & nbsp; MK, & nbsp; The Prosecutor General's Office has exclusively formal grounds for & nbsp; closing the senior human rights organization in & nbsp; Russia.
& mdash; & nbsp; Absolute savagery. It is completely unknown what motivated this decision. There are formal grounds, but no one knows the details. The point is & nbsp; & nbsp; & quot; Memorial & raquo; & nbsp; & mdash; this is not & nbsp; some random individual. It is the oldest Russian human rights organization with & nbsp; very high international authority, even if there are formal grounds for & nbsp; its & nbsp; closing & nbsp; & mdash; this is a very ill-considered decision. To make such a decision & nbsp; & mdash; it is & nbsp; generally to substitute the country for very strong and & nbsp; motivated hints from the & nbsp; side of the world community on & nbsp; the topic of the situation with & nbsp; human rights in & nbsp; us in & nbsp; country.
