Russia imposed sanctions against more than 30 representatives of Great Britain, including the Aga Khan Foundation. The founder of this organization and the leader of the Ismailis of the world, Prince Karim Aga Khan. The website of the Russian Foreign Ministry says.
In addition to Prince Karim Aga Khan, the list includes the names of four employees of the foundation.
According to the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry, this is a response to the «hostile efforts of London» aimed at «discrediting the Russian state» and «destabilizing the domestic political situation» in the country.
The ministry notes that «these organizations spread misinformation to discredit the Russian state through mainstream media and online, and are trying in vain to create conditions for destabilizing the situation within our country. In addition to this, while executing the orders of their curators in London and working on their agenda to isolate Moscow on the international stage in both political and economic terms, these think tanks engage in destructive efforts in countries which are friendly to Russia by seeking to undermine the stability and wellbeing of the people there».
Persons included in the «stop list» are denied entry to the Russian Federation. Office of the Aga Khan Foundation in Moscow was closed back in April 2022.
The Foundation operates in more than 30 countries around the world, including Kyrgyzstan.
