Lawmakers in Russia's State Duma have proposed adding Deutsche Welle to the list of 'undesirable organizations,' which would effectively ban the broadcaster from operating in the country.
The proposal to label Deutsche Welle as 'undesirable' includes blocking its accounts, closing its offices, and banning information distribution, alongside criminal liabilities for continued cooperation.
Deutsche Welle, previously labeled a 'foreign agent,' faced a significant blow to its operations in Russia, further isolating the Russian populace from independent media.
The recent law allows any foreign organization to be classified as 'undesirable' based on foreign state involvement, expanding the scope of Russian censorship.
