Russian court shuts down human rights group Memorial International
CNN
Russia's supreme court has ruled that the prominent human rights organization must cease all its operations, in the latest blow to the country's shrinking civil society.
Memorial International studies historical abuses by the former Soviet Union and offers support to its victims.
The group was accused of repeatedly breaking the law for failing to mark all its publications with a compulsory "foreign agent" warning. Moscow had designated the group a foreign agent in 2016, using a law targeting organizations receiving international funding.
