Russian Supreme Court orders closure of prominent human rights group

Russia’s Supreme Court has ordered the country’s most prominent human rights group to be liquidated.

The court ruled that the group Memorial must be closed for breaking the law on foreign agents.

The group says the lawsuit was politically motivated and has announced it will appeal the ruling before the European Court of Human Rights.
