According to Aljazeera one Russia communication watchdog Roskomnadzor media regulator takes action against ‘foreign agent’ OVD-Info as Kremlin crackdown on dissent rumbles on.
Now Russia blocks website of protest monitoring group OVD-Info.
OVD-Info – which has, for years, documented anti-Kremlin protests and provides legal support to victims of political persecution – said on Saturday that the Roskomnadzor media regulator had moved to restrict access to its site earlier this week.
The website currently shows a message saying access to it is restricted on the basis of a federal law on information, information technologies and data protection.
In September this year, Russia declared OVD-Info, which was founded during the first mass protests against President Vladimir Putin’s criminal governance in December 2011, a ‘foreign agent’ in a move critics say is designed to stifle dissent.
