"Today, Russia’s Supreme Court granted the Justice Ministry’s demand to
shut down one of the most prominent rights groups in the country – the
Movement for Human Rights. The ruling, in keeping with government
policy, delivers another severe blow to Russian human rights defenders,
who have been increasingly under attack in recent weeks."
