Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) filed a lawsuit against Russia Wednesday in the European Court of Human Rights, challenging Russia’s designation of RFE/RL as a “foreign agent.”
RFE/RL is an independent media company funded by a grant from the U.S. Congress. In 2012 Russia passed a law requiring groups to register as foreign agents if they receive any foreign funding and if they engage in “political activity,” a broadly defined term that can encompass ordinary journalistic practices. The law has been used to target groups engaged in human rights work, environmental issues, social justice, and media.
