Origin
2024 - Second part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 13, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly strongly condemns the Russian practice of including political opponents of the regime on lists of terrorists and extremists: opposition politicians, cultural figures, journalists and civil activists. Vladimir Putin's order to the Russian FSB to take decisive measures against the "enemies of the country" both inside and outside of it is also of great concern. In practice, this could lead to a wave of politically motivated assassinations and murders on the territory of Council of Europe member States."
