Russian authorities shut down leading human rights group - BBC News
Russia's Supreme Court has ordered the closure of Memorial, the country's most prominent human rights group, which chronicled Stalin-era purges and was a symbol of democratic change after the fall of the Soviet Union.
The ban follows a wider crackdown on opposition politics and independent media.
Prosecutors had accused Memorial of failing to indicate in its publications that the group received funds from overseas.
