Description
Russia moving to shut down the country's top human rights group Memorial shows that the Kremlin has taken a "sharp" dictatorial turn, one of the leading organisation's founding members tells AFP.
Prosecutors last week filed a demand to dissolve the group -- founded in 1989 to uncover Stalinist crimes -- over legal violations, sending shockwaves across Russia's rights circles.
