The Russian organization Memorial was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the morning, and the judiciary is now taking action against the human rights activists.
A Russian court has ordered the organization to be deprived of its Moscow offices, the Russian agency Interfax and the newspaper Kommersant report.
Interfax quoted the court decision as saying that the offices had been converted into “public property”.
The offices form the headquarters of the human rights organization, in which it regularly held exhibitions.
