"Extremistisch" in Russland: Was das für "Memorial" bedeutet

View All Perspectives

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Ein russisches Gericht hat die Menschenrechtsorganisation Memorial als extremistisch eingestuft und ihre Tätigkeit sowie die ihrer Untergliederungen in Russland verboten. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte beantragt, die "internationale Bewegung Memorial" als extremistisch anzuerkennen. Laut Jens Siegert, dem ehemaligen Leiter der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Moskau, zielt die russische Justiz bewusst auf eine vage definierte "internationale Bewegung Memorial" ab. Dies ermöglicht den Behörden, gegen alles vorzugehen, was sie mit Memorial in Verbindung bringen. Russland hatte zuvor bereits eine angeblich organisierte LGBTQ-Bewegung im Land kriminalisiert.
