Memorial’s headquarters in Moscow “become public property,” the Tverskoi court told Interfax news agency.
A Moscow court tonight ordered the seizure of the offices of the organization Memorial, which is outlawed in Russia, hours after the Russian NGO was awarded the Nobel Peace Prizetogether with a Belarusian activist and a Ukrainian NGO.
Memorial headquarters in Russia they “become a public good”, the Tverskoi court said to the Interfax agency, after the umpteenth trial against the organization.
These offices, in the center of Moscow, housed the organization’s administrative services, while regularly hosting exhibitions open to the public.
A spokesman for the Tverskoy court said Memorial was involved “in the rehabilitation of Nazi criminals, defamed the authorities and created a false image of the USSR,” Ria Novosti news agency reported.
Memorial has been outlawed in Russia since December 2021. It fought to defend freedoms and preserve the memory of political persecution in the former Soviet Union. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to her jointly with Belarusian activist Ales Bialatsky and the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties.
