Case against voters rights NGO Golos begins in Russia MOSCOW, April 10 (UPI) -- The Russian Justice Ministry's case against a voter rights group is the first against a non-governmental organization since a "foreign agents law" was enacted. Proceedings began in the administrative case against the Golos association, the ministry's press service said Tuesday. The Russian Legal Information Agency said Wednesday Golos, founded in 2000 to protect voters' rights, receives foreign financing and performs work within Russia, and thus is regarded as a foreign agent. The agency said Golos has yet to file an application to be included in a registry of non-commercial organizations acting as foreign agents.
