Prague Civil Society Centre Named ‘Undesirable’ By Russian Government

The Prague Civil Society Centre has been added to the Russian government’s list of “undesirable organisations” under a law that human rights watchdogs have called abusive and a tool to silence activists. The law targets Russian citizens who fight against corruption, promote the rule of law, protect the environment and support the most vulnerable in society, and aims to muzzle independent journalists, bloggers and others who hold the powerful to account.
