Published: 5 May 2025
More than 80 human rights defenders, activists, and cultural figures from Adygea, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Karachay-Cherkessia have sent an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation. They are asking not to adopt the law "On Repatriation to the Russian Federation", since it requires knowledge of the Russian language for potential repatriates from foreign countries to Russia and infringes on their rights.
