US EditionRussia Bans Amnesty International, Declaring It 'Undesirable'
- On May 19, 2025, Russia's Prosecutor General's Office outlawed Amnesty International by labeling it an 'undesirable organization' and banning its operations inside Russia.
- The decision follows a 2015 Russian law criminalizing involvement with undesirable groups and intensified government crackdowns after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- Amnesty International’s London office was accused of serving as a center for 'global Russophobic projects' aimed at Russia’s political and economic isolation amid its reports on human rights violations in Ukraine.
