The Moscow City Court, within the framework of a claim for the recognition of the Anti-Corruption Fund (the organization is included by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the list of foreign agents) as extremist, restricted the organization’s work.
“The judge of the Moscow City Court considered the petition of the plaintiff to take preliminary protection measures,” the press service of the court said.
It is noted that on April 27, a judge of the Moscow City Court issued a ruling on the application of preliminary protection measures in the form of a ban on certain actions against non-profit organizations, the Anti-Corruption Foundation, as well as the Foundation for the Protection of Citizens’ Rights (the organization is also included in the list of foreign agents by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation).
The agency clarified that, according to the defense of the defendants, such a measure temporarily prohibits organizations from interacting with the media, organizing public events, using banks, and participating in elections.
The claim of the capital’s prosecutor’s office was filed against the FBK, the FZPG and the public movement “Navalny’s Headquarters” due to the fact that “these organizations are engaged in creating conditions for the destabilization of the social and socio-political situation.”
A day earlier, on April 26, the Moscow prosecutor’s office suspended the activities of the headquarters of blogger Alexei Navalny. The reason for taking these measures was the fact that the leaders and participants of foundations and headquarters continue their illegal activities, in particular, they carry out illegal mass public actions.
