Persona Non Grata
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee has released a new report, Persona Non Grata: The CIS Ban System for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists. The report shows that over the past several years, countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) have developed a common system reminiscent of the Schengen system in Europe, where individuals who are denied entry to one of the six member states automatically are denied entry to the others.
