A court in Moscow on Wednesday ruled to shut down another prominent human rights organization amid a sweeping crackdown on Russian rights groups, independent media and opposition supporters.

The decision to shut down the Memorial Human Rights Center by the Moscow City Court comes a day after Russia's Supreme Court revoked the legal status of its sister organization, Memorial, an international human rights group that drew international acclaim for its studies of political repression in the Soviet Union.

In their petitions to shut both groups down, filed to two different courts last month, the prosecutors argued that the organizations repeatedly violated regulations obliging them to mark themselves as foreign agents.The rulings to shut them down drew widespread public outrage, with crowds of supporters showing up at courthouses on Tuesday and Wednesday despite freezing weather.

Some were declared "undesirable" -- a label that outlaws organizations in Russia -- or were accused of links to "undesirable" groups, and several were forced to shut down or disband themselves to prevent further prosecution. On Tuesday, Moscow city authorities served another prominent human rights group with an eviction notice.
