Russian authorities seal Amnesty International Moscow office
Amnesty International`s office in Moscow has been officially sealed by municipal officials, staff members reported. They said no prior warning was given before the locks were changed and power to the office was cut.
Staff members at the Amnesty International base in Moscow were unable to enter their office on Wednesday after officials sealed it overnight.

Sergey Nikitin, the head of Amnesty International in Russia, said when employees "arrived at our office this morning, they found that the door was broken and there were new locks."

Photos on Wednesday showed the door sealed with an official notice from Moscow city authorities and the old locks on the ground.
