1. Which country banned the Clooney Foundation for Justice?
Russia’s prosecutor general banned the Clooney Foundation for Justice, founded by Hollywood actor George Clooney and his wife, accusing the foundation of conducting activities aimed at discrediting Russia and supporting false patriots. The ban was issued under the claim that the foundation's actions undermine the country's sovereignty and promote anti-Russian narratives, particularly through its involvement in the Ukrainian crisis. The decision reflects concerns over the foundation's alleged influence on public opinion and its role in international relations.
