Russia's Supreme Court weaponises counterterror laws - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Russia’s Supreme Court has officially designated the Anti-Corruption Foundation’s U.S. branch as a “terrorist organisation,” escalating the Kremlin’s war on political dissent.
This ruling expands Moscow’s ability to target activists abroad and criminalises even small donations as “terrorist financing.”
We break down what this means for the ACF, for the legacy of Navalny’s movement, and for anyone connected to the organization.
The episode explores the legal, political, and security implications of this unprecedented step. Eastern Express examines how Russia is reframing dissent as terrorism – and why the world should pay attention.
