Human Rights Watch has maintained an office in Russia for the past 30 years. The Kremlin's decision to close it is the latest sign of a reversion to Soviet-style repression. https://t.co/ADPFQaDzGa

The Kremlin opts for trying to silence the messenger rather than ending the abusive conduct. Revoking the registration of @HRW will not stop our reporting on the Kremlin's repression inside Russia and the war crimes of Russian forces in Ukraine. https://t.co/eeuaxm4g6S

The Russian authorities are closing down @Amnesty. We are the latest in a long list of organizations that have been punished for defending human rights and speaking the truth to the Russian authorities. https://t.co/naNFFPhdng
