This decision is part of the Russian government’s broader effort to silence dissent and isolate civil society,

Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s secretary general, said

The London headquarters of AIL [Amnesty International Limited] serves as a training center of international Russophobic projects, financed by the supporters of the Kyiv regime,

the Russian law enforcement agency said
