WASHINGTON, 29 December 2021, (TON): US Ambassador to the Russian Federation John Sullivan criticized the decision of the Russian court to liquidate Memorial (recognized as a foreign agent), thus continuing a series of statements about Russia’s internal affairs, despite the fact that the United States itself has repeatedly and unsubstantiatedly accused Moscow of interfering in the affairs of its state.
Sullivan quoted the United States Embassy in Twitter “today’s decision by the Russian Supreme Court to close International Memorial – one of the oldest and best-known Russian human rights organizations – is a blatant and tragic attempt to suppress freedom of speech and erase history.”
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation ruled to liquidate the international society Memorial (already recognized as a foreign agent in Russia) at the suit of the Prosecutor General’s Office, and tomorrow the Moscow City Court will consider a similar claim against the human rights center Memorial.
