[Regnum] At a hearing on April 17, the Supreme Court of Russia suspended the ban on the activities of the Taliban movement in the country (under UN sanctions for terrorist activities).
“By decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the previously established ban on the activities of the Taliban movement, which is included in the unified federal list of organizations recognized as terrorist, has been suspended,” the judge announced.
The court hearing was held behind closed doors.
On February 14, 2003, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized the Afghan Islamist religious and political paramilitary movement Taliban as a terrorist organization, banning its activities in the Russian Federation.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, in August 2021, a coup d''état took place in Afghanistan, and the Taliban came to power. In March 2022, Russia established diplomatic relations with Afghanistan. As stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Taliban control power in Afghanistan, containing the activities of terrorist groups.
In October 2024, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov announced that Moscow was finalizing the issue of removing the Taliban from the list of terrorist organizations. As the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov explained, the abolition of the terrorist status of the Taliban is necessary for the development of contacts with the leadership of Afghanistan.
The Supreme Court announced at the end of March that it had accepted the Prosecutor General''s Office''s request to suspend the ban on Taliban activities in Russia.
