The Prosecutor General's Office has declared the activities of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, an American non-governmental organization, undesirable in Russia.
The Prosecutor General's Office claims that the foundation is carrying out “work aimed at discrediting Russia” and supports “false patriots who have fled the country” as well as members of banned extremist associations and terrorist organizations.
“Covering themselves with humanitarian ideas” the organization ‘promotes initiatives to prosecute Russia's top leadership, publicly replicate negative pseudo-expert assessments of Russian legislation on foreign agents and NGOs,’ the Russian Prosecutor General's Office said in a press release on Telegram.
The Clooney Foundation for Justice was founded in 2016 in New York by actor George Clooney and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.
The organization's official goal is to fight for justice and demand accountability for human rights violations. The foundation works in more than 40 states around the world. In particular, it investigates war crimes in Ukraine.
