Photo: 'Russian Anti-War Committee.' The Supreme Court has declared the 'Russian Anti-War Committee' a 'terrorist organization.' This was reported by a SOTAvision correspondent from the courthouse. Consequently, the Supreme Court has banned the activities of the 'Anti-War Committee' in Russia. The court session was held in camera. The decision was made by Supreme Court Judge Oleg Nefedov. Previously, he declared the non-existent 'International LGBT Movement' and 'International Satanism Movement' as 'extremist organizations,' and also declared the FBK a 'terrorist organization.' Additionally, he considered Alexei Navalny's lawsuits against a colony in the Vladimir region and the Ministry of Justice, and also denied admission to the presidential elections for Ekaterina Duntsova and Boris Nadezhdin.

In October last year, the FSB initiated a criminal case on charges of involvement in a 'terrorist community' and 'violent seizure of power' against 23 members of the 'Russian Anti-War Committee,' including the chief editor of 'Novaya Europa,' Kirill Martynov. According to the FSB, members of the 'Anti-War Committee' called for the 'liquidation of the current government.' The creation of a platform for Russian democratic forces in the PACE also became a reason for prosecution. According to law enforcement agencies, it is positioned as a 'constituent assembly of the transitional period' and an alternative to the Russian authorities.
