Hungarian NGOs against Putin in Strasbourg

In 2013 Russian NGOs turned to the European Court of Human Rights to challenge the 2012 act that labels civil organisations as foreign agents. Since the Russian act has set a dangerous precedent for other countries, including Hungary, where a similar act has recently been adopted on the mandatory registration of NGOs that receive funding from abroad, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, Transparency International Hungary, Átlátszó.hu and EKINT presented their submission to the Court as third party intervention in the case ECODEFENCE and others v. Russia.
