Russia bans Elton John AIDS Foundation to defend 'spiritual and moral values'
Bangkok Post
|APRIL 21, 2025
Russia's General Prosecutor last week banned the activities of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, accusing it of taking a negative stance towards countries like Russia that protect "traditional spiritual and moral values".
The prosecutor's office said its ban specifically applied to two non-governmental organisations, one registered in the United States and the other in Britain, both of them called the "Elton John AIDS Foundation". Both are officially designated as "undesirable organisations", it said.
