Russia banned Human Rights Watch as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing support and collaboration.
Russia has added Human Rights Watch to its list of “undesirable organizations,” banning its operations and criminalizing any support or collaboration within the country.
The move, part of a broader crackdown since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, targets independent voices and critical groups, with over 275 entities now on the list.
The designation follows previous bans on groups like Greenpeace, Transparency International, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Human Rights Watch, which has documented alleged war crimes in Ukraine, condemned the decision as a suppression tactic, vowing to continue its work remotely despite the risks.
Rusia prohibió a Human Rights Watch por ser una organización "indeseable", criminalizando el apoyo y la colaboración.
