Human rights activists are outraged by the pressure from the prosecutor's office on the Memorial society

Russian human rights activists are outraged by the demand of the Moscow prosecutor's office to remove from the site of the society "Memorial" the conclusion of the DUM AChR based on the materials of "Hizb ut-Tahrir". In the statement of human rights activists, the actions of the prosecutor's office are viewed as "not just another manifestation of political censorship, but also as the desire of the authorities in private, without interaction with human rights activists and the expert community, to develop and arbitrarily use criteria for defining extremism."
