The Chechen Armed Forces declared the opposition movement NIYSO extremist.

In court, the prosecutor presented evidence "confirming the extremist nature of the organization's activities, including the distribution of materials containing calls for hostility and destabilization of the socio-political situation," the official Chechen news agency Grozny-Inform reported today.

The court upheld the claim, recognizing the movement as an extremist organization and banning its activities throughout the Russian Federation. "The court's decision regarding the termination of the organization's activities is subject to immediate execution," the publication notes.

Representatives of the movement commented ironically on the court ruling in Chechnya. "We've been banned. We're dispersing," reads one publication dedicated to the decision.

Activists recalled that dissent has long been banned in Chechnya, and those who disagree are routinely labeled "extremists" and "terrorists."

The movement's participants also recalled that Ramzan Kadyrov promised to "meet in court" with Vladimir Shamanov in early October. They wondered whether the Chechen Supreme Court plans to issue an arrest warrant for Shamanov, whom the republic's leader has accused of war crimes. "Oh, right. The authorities in Moscow never gave permission for this," the author of the post concluded.
