The two new entities sanctioned are considered "key" to activities aimed at destabilizing international security, including selling weapons and providing military personnel to train and assist Russian forces on the use of Iranian weapons."The decision on November 16 by the Jogorku Kenesh (Supreme Council) follows last month’s move by the Central Asian nation's Culture Ministry to block the websites of RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service, known locally as Radio Azattyk.The move came just after Kyrgyz authorities blocked Radio Azattyk's websites for two months when the broadcaster refused to take down a video of one of its news programs that reported on clashes at the border with Tajikistan.We will fight this attempt to silence our journalists," Fly said, “Radio Azattyk is a trusted source of news and should be allowed to continue to operate unimpeded.” According to the law on bank and banking activities in Kyrgyzstan, banks can freeze accounts only after a court decision, and an official request from law enforcement cannot lead to the freezing of bank accounts.Answering questions from the BBC via written statements sent from a Moscow detention center, Kara-Murza wrote that "the price of silence is unacceptable" in current Russia and "a form of being an accomplice" to President Vladimir Putin's policies."
