While the US Donald J. Trump administration is fully engaged in rebuilding diplomatic and economic ties with the Russian Federation, many Liberal European countries and Globalist NGOs are still working to escalate tensions with Moscow and promote confrontation.
President Vladimir Putin has been pushing back against these Globalist ‘non-governmental’ organizations.
Russian authorities yesterday outlawed Amnesty International deeming it an ‘undesirable organization’, meaning that any involvement with such organizations a criminal offense.
Associated Press reported:
“The decision by the Russian Prosecutor General’s office, announced in an online statement, is the latest in the unrelenting crackdown on Kremlin critics, journalists and activists that intensified to unprecedented levels after Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
The designation means the international human rights group must stop any work in Russia, and it subjects those who cooperate with it or support it to prosecution, including if anyone shares Amnesty International’s reports on social media.”
Amnesty International said the move is the Russian government trying to ‘silence dissent and isolate civil society’, and vowed to ‘continue to work relentlessly to ensure that all those who are responsible for committing grave human rights violations, whether in Russia, Ukraine, or elsewhere, face justice’.
“Russia’s list of “undesirable organizations” currently covers 223 entities, including prominent independent news outlets and rights groups. Among those are prominent news organizations like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty or Russian independent outlet Meduza, think tanks like Chatham House, anti-corruption group Transparency International, and Open Russia, an opposition group founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, an exiled tycoon who became an opposition figure.”
Sputnik reported:
“Moscow just BANNED Amnesty Int’l, calling it a Russophobic propaganda machine bankrolled by the West.
Accusations:
*Training anti-Russia ops from London HQ
*Funding extremists & foreign agents
*Smearing Russia under the guise of ‘human rights’”
It has been reported that Amnesty International has received millions of Pounds from the UK ‘Department for International Development’.
