Representatives of <\/span>ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d spoke at a conference for NGO\u2019s organized by the Council of Europe, representing the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).

Discussions focused on the restrictions and in some cases repression faced by NGOs, human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and civil society activists in the member states of the Council of Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conference <\/span>participants welcomed the Azerbaijani lawyer and human rights defender Intigam Aliyev, who had recently been released from prison. In his opening speech Intigam Aliyev thanked all representatives of international organizations and human rights defenders, who had struggled for his release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olga Abramenko, e<\/span>xpert of ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d, stressed that the repression of NGOs in Russia had recently entered a new phase: in addition to fines for alleged violations committed by NGOs, which became routine and are being appealed by NGOs in courts, there is a growing risk that the heads of non-governmental organizations face personal charges for criminal offences. Moreover, repressive legislation and practices had spread to a vast territory: in Crimea, annexed by Russia, the representing body of the Crimean Tatar people had been banned. In Kyrgyzstan, where attempts are being made to adopt a law similar to the one existing in Russia, human rights defenders are subjected to harassment initiated by the head of state. In unrecognized territories controlled by Russia the possibilities for operations of independent human rights activists are virtually non-existent. In Transnistria a criminal case was recently opened against activists of NGO PromoLex, and in so-called Lugansk and Donetsk People\u2019s Republics public sphere was completely \u201ccleansed\u201d of civil activists. New and new groups, including civil society activists, journalists and lawyers are becoming targets of repression each day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
