> Moscow’s Lefortovsky Interdistrict Prosecutor’s Office has assembled materials to open a criminal case against Anna Karetnikova. Prosecutors suspect her of evading “foreign agent” obligations and participating in an extremist organization, without naming the group. Karetnikova has worked with Memorial for more than 20 years.
