Russian court orders the closure of human rights group Memorial International, in another blow to the country's shrinking civil society

Moscow Russia's Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the closure of Memorial International, a prominent human rights organization, in the latest blow to the country's shrinking civil society.

Memorial International studies historical abuses by the former Soviet Union and, according to its website, aims to bring to light truth about its victims and offer support to their families. The group's lawyer, Tatiana Glushkova, confirmed the ruling to CNN and said the group would appeal the decision."The real reason for Memorial's closure is that the prosecutor's office doesn't like Memorial's work rehabilitating the victims of Soviet terror," Glushkova told CNN.

Tyranny is getting its way. Good vs evil are at full speed

Human rights are a meme, they only exist for the elite and protected classes.

They can have Trump to further their cause.

The US Supreme Court appears the be the last line of defense for maintaining American democracy. Should they decide to except Trump’s post presidency executive privilege claim after it has been totally denied by the lower courts. They will look partisan

Shameful

Coming soon to the USA, if Trump is “re-elected”.

This is how autocratic rulers treat opponents. Punishment, try to silence them.

If you weren't worried before, you should be worried now.

Biden is proud of you Putin .

This is a shame for Russia of course! The shame that the whole world sees!

The Russians... now they wear a modern piece of suit though, the fur itself deserves it for them the best.

It appears that Russia has it’s equivalent to America’s republicans.👿🤔

But windows that journalists accidentally fall out of remain open in winter.

The group's closure rounds out a year in which Russian authorities have cracked down on nearly all forms of dissent .
