© AFP / Fabrice COFFRINI; REUTERS / Maxim Shemetov Western journalists, rights groups and governments are concerned about the head of a foreign NGO being asked to leave Russia. However, serious discussion of the organization s background, and funding sources, is completely absent.
Last week, it was announced that Moscow had revoked the residency of Vanessa Kogan, a US national who heads the NGO Stichting Justice Initiative (SJI) in Russia.

Joint Statement: Laos
After eight years, civil society worldwide demands the government establish and reveal Sombath’s fate and whereabouts
15 December 2020: On the eighth anniversary of the enforced disappearance of Lao civil society leader Sombath Somphone, we, the undersigned organizations, reiterate our calls on the government of Laos to reveal his fate and whereabouts, and to investigate all allegations of enforced disappearances in the country to bring those responsible to justice in fair trials. Sombath Somphone is still missing five years after he was forcibly disappeared in Vientiane, Laos. © 2013 Stephen Sautter
The government’s ongoing failure to thoroughly, independently, and impartially investigate the cases of Sombath and other alleged victims of enforced disappearance is compounded by its total lack of commitment to address this issue.
