Commemorative offices confiscated in Moscow
In Russia, a court confiscated the Moscow offices of the banned human rights organization Memorial. The building had been turned into public property, it was said.

The organization said it wants to continue the fight for human rights and celebrate the Nobel Prize. In addition to Memorial, a Ukrainian civil rights organization and a Belarusian human rights lawyer were honored. | 10/08/2022 12:15
EU summit: no agreement on gas prices
During their deliberations in Prague, EU countries failed to reach agreement on a gas price cap. By the middle of the month, the Commission will now have to come up with a concrete proposal on how to reduce prices. A small majority of EU countries are in favor of a Europe-wide price cap for gas. Other countries such as Germany warn that liquid gas deliveries could then go to Asia. Chancellor Scholz said there are two goals: lower prices and a secure supply. | 10/08/2022 12:15
