"Following an order by the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, Roskomnadzor limits access, starting July 26, to information resources related to the functioning of FBK, the Citizens' Rights Protection Foundation and Navalny's headquarters public movement, which the Moscow City Court ruled on June 9, 2021 to disband and to ban activities because of being engaged in extremism," Roskomandzor said.
