The prosecutor's office filed lawsuits to liquidate the organizations in mid-November 2021. The agency listed Memorial's protocols for not being marked as a «foreign agent» on social media and related projects, and ordered an expert examination that found «justification for terrorism and extremism» in the activities of human rights activists.
As a result, the Moscow City Court, at the request of the prosecutor's office, liquidated the organization. Then the ECHR demanded that Russia suspend the execution of court decisions on the liquidation of the International Memorial and Memorial Human Rights Center.
