According to his team, the organizations of the Kremlin opponent Alexej Navalny, who is detained in the prison camp, are no longer allowed to work.
A court in Moscow has ordered the work ban, said the director of Navalny's anti-corruption foundation, Ivan Zhdanov, on Monday.
The ban applies until a decision is made by the Moscow public prosecutor's office to classify the organizations as extremist.
Then the Navalny organizations could be banned altogether.
Security forces took action against supporters of the Russian opposition party last week.
According to a group of observers, hundreds of people were arrested in Russia during nationwide demonstrations for the imprisoned Navalny.
In the run-up to the protests with thousands of participants, the police had also taken massive action against Nawalny's supporters.
According to OVD-Info, there were raids and arrests in almost 30 cities.
Among other things, Navalny's St. Petersburg office was searched and his confidants Lyubov Sobol and Kira Jarmysch were arrested.
