**And the western 4 eyes media pretend they aren’t! Despite the fact that their terrorist ways are known and documented including in multiple western sources.**

> “***To satisfy the administrative motion of the prosecutor general and to recognize the Ukrainian paramilitary unit Azov as a terrorist organization, banning its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation,”*** the judge read out the decision.
> 
> The witnesses – Russian human rights activists and journalists, told the court about the numerous episodes of crimes committed by Azov militants. **In the courtroom, they showed interviews with residents of Mariupol and Volnovakha, whose relatives had been killed, kidnapped, or tortured by militants from the Azov battalion.**

**In case you’ve missed the terrorism of Azov and other battallions of their ilk**

> **A [2016 report](https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/UA/Ukraine_13th_HRMMU_Report_3March2016.pdf)** by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OCHA) **has accused the Azov regiment of violating international humanitarian law.**
> 
> The report detailed incidents over a period from November 2015-February 2016 where **Azov had embedded their weapons and forces in used civilian buildings, and displaced residents after looting civilian properties.` The report also accused the battalion of raping and torturing detainees in the Donbas region.`**

**If it walks like, talks like and acts like a terrorist group- It must be a terrorist group**

> **In 2016, Facebook first designated the Azov regiment a “dangerous organisation”**
> 
> Under the company’s Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy, Azov was banned from its platforms in 2019. The group was placed under Facebook’s Tier 1 designation, which includes groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and ISIL (ISIS). **Users engaging in praise, support or representation of Tier 1 groups are also banned.**
> 
> **However, on February 24, the day Russia launched its invasion, Facebook reversed its ban, saying it would allow praise for Azov.**
