La Russie interdit l'organisation américaine de promotion de la démocratie Freedom House

La Russie a déclaré mardi l’organisation américaine de promotion de la démocratie Freedom House “indésirable”, une mesure qui interdit ses activités dans le pays, en pleine tension avec Washington et répression de la société civile.

“L’une des principales activités de Freedom House consiste à promouvoir l’établissement du rôle dit +dominant+ des États-Unis dans le monde”, a justifié dans un communiqué le Parquet général russe, en annonçant cette décision.

Selon cette source, l’ONG Freedom House, financée par Washington, “a participé activement à la promotion des politiques d’États inamicaux concernant le conflit russo-ukrainien, notamment en discréditant les forces armées de la Fédération de Russie”.

L’organisation américaine de promotion de la démocratie, fondée en 1941, est aussi accusée par le Parquet russe de “fournir des informations, un soutien financier, juridique” à “l’opposition russe, aux militants pro-occidentaux et LGBT”.

Sur son site internet, l’ONG qualifie de son côté le système politique russe dirigé par le président Vladimir Poutine d'”autoritaire”.

Depuis le lancement de l’attaque russe à grande échelle contre l’Ukraine, en février 2022, “les autorités ont intensifié les restrictions visant les droits et libertés individuels afin d’étouffer toute dissidence nationale”, écrit Freedom House.

En février 2024, les autorités russes ont interdit Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), un média multilingue financé par les États-Unis, en le déclarant “organisation indésirable”.

Des dizaines d’ONG et de médias en Russie ont subi la même mesure, qui expose leurs employés à de graves poursuites judiciaires.
