Memorial, one of the oldest and the most renowned Russian rights organizations, was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize along with imprisoned Belarusian activist Ales Bialiatski and the Ukrainian organization Center for Civil Liberties. Russia’s Supreme Court ordered it shut down in December 2021, a move that sparked an outcry at home and abroad.
