Russia's Foreign Agents' Law: Outlawed But Not Silenced

We look at the crackdown on environmental activism almost a month after Russia’s oldest human rights group, Memorial, was liquidated.

Our correspondents Anastasia and Ivan Shteynert report on the impact of the so-called foreign agents' law on environmental activism in St. Petersburg and beyond.

Vitaly Servetnik, a campaigner at Russia’s Friends of the Earth and the Russian Social Ecological Union, takes us through the nuts and bolts of the legislation and explains why environmentalists are set to be the next targets of the Putin regime after human rights activists.
