The Supreme Court of Russia has raised this Thursday the prohibition that prevented the Taliban from any type of activity in the country, prior to its final withdrawal of the list of terrorist organizations, once the ruling once enters into force.
The Supreme Court has failed in favor of a request submitted by the Prosecutor’s Office a couple of weeks ago in which it was recommended to raise restrictions against the group that governs Afghanistan since August 2021.
“By decision of the Supreme Court of Russia, the previously established prohibition of the activities of the Taliban Movement, included in the unified federal list of organizations recognized as terrorists, has been suspended, announced Judge Oleg Nefedov, according to the state agency TASS.
After the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan after the departure of US forces in August 2021, Russia has given several signs of interest in normalizing relations with the fundamentalist group, which until now has barely had international recognition.
The proposal presented by the Prosecutor’s Office is based on a law approved by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, at the end of 2024, by which a court can again allow the activities of a group considered terrorist if he demonstrates that he has ceased his criminal activities.
