Russia's Supreme Court Bans Batal-Khaji Belkhoroev Follower Community as Terrorist

Russia's Supreme Court, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, designated the 'Community of Followers of Batal-Khaji Belkhoroev - Batalkhadzhintsy' as a terrorist organization and banned its activities. This is a domestic legal action targeting a religious group, likely part of Russia's broader counter-extremism efforts. The immediate market impact is negligible, but it signals continued state pressure on non-mainstream religious movements.
