Russia wants to shut down the country's oldest human rights group

Russia's Ministry of Justice is seeking to shut down the country's oldest human rights group, the Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG).

The move comes amid a Kremlin campaign to tame criticism of the war in Ukraine.

The motion appeared on the ministry's website on December 20.

MHG was established in 1976 by prominent dissidents of the time, in the home of Soviet physicist and dissident Andrei Sakharov.

Group members were arrested or forced to leave the country after the MHG was founded.

The group revived its activity in Russia at the end of 1980./REL
