The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has designated the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum NGO “undesirable” in Russia, effectively shutting down the organisation.
“The organisation implements programmes and projects, drafts reports, publishes articles and research papers, holds conferences and seminars that aim to discredit Russia’s leadership,” the agency said in a statement.
Moreover, the office believes that the NGO works with people previously labelled as “foreign agents” as well as organisations designated as “undesirable”.
