The IRI agents confiscated Sakharov's plaque and awards


Saleh Nikbakht, the lawyer of Mehsa Amini's family, was interrogated at #Tehran's Imam Khomeini airport on the evening of Friday, January 1, after returning from France, and the agents confiscated his belongings, including the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize plaque, awarded to Mehsa Amini.

Upon the arrival of Saleh Nikbakht, the security agents confiscated many personal belongings, including passports, mobile phones, manuscripts, books, as well as the Sakharov memorial plaque, donated by the European Parliament to the family of Gina Amini, after inspecting his luggage.
It is also reported in the news that Saleh Nikbakht's one-year prison sentence, which was previously approved for the crime of protesting the court's decision regarding Mehsa Gina Amini's case, has been sent to the sentence enforcement branch.

A Moscou, l’adieu au mythique #CentreSakharov
Le tribunal municipal de #Moscou a ordonné vendredi 18 août la dissolution de l’association Centre #Sakharov, un des derniers piliers de la défense des droits humains en #Russie. Au printemps dernier, l’association avait déjà dû quitter ses locaux historiques à Moscou. Un déménagement hautement symbolique, auquel avait assisté le correspondant du « '#LeMonde », #BenoîtVitkine.

Le MondeA Moscou, l’adieu au mythique Centre SakharovBy Benoît Vitkine

MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin’s wartime purge of liberals and human rights activists has forced the #Sakharov Center, a museum and cultural space in Moscow, to close as the #Kremlin rips up the legacy of rights defenders like Sakharov, who died in 1989, and destroys organizations dedicated to #justice and #freedom.
The center held its final public event last month and now has to dismantle its exhibition focused on the repressions of the Soviet #gulag .
