The Anti-Corruption Foundation joints the long list of NGO victims of the repressive ‘foreign agents law’. While this act of vengeance against an organization founded by a prominent Kremlin critic is nothing new, we note it targets one of the largest civil society networks in the country
“In the absence of an effective political opposition, the Foundation managed to grow, to crowdfund its activities, and to reach out to mass audiences with its stories of top-level corruption in Russia. It has become the source of, and the magnet for, civic and political activism. Now it is paying the price.
“We once again call on the Russian authorities to repeal the “foreign agents law” and stop its ongoing assault on the right to freedom of association in Russia and its crusade against civil society activists and government critics.”
