The Russian Prosecutor’s Office has moved to have the Anti-War Committee declared a terrorist organization by the Supreme Court, illustrating the government's escalating measures against dissent. Founded in response to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the committee includes notable figures such as Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Garry Kasparov, aiming to support anti-war sentiments among Russians and foster a community of solidarity and action. This request follows the earlier designation of the group as 'undesirable' in January 2024, criminalizing any interaction with the committee and placing its members at risk of severe legal repercussions. The Supreme Court's deliberation on this matter will take place behind closed doors, reflecting a lack of transparency in judicial proceedings related to political dissent in Russia. The implications of this designation could further suppress freedom of speech and stifle organized opposition against the ongoing conflict.
