Russian Parliament approves bill that can lift Taliban terror tag
The New Indian Express Belagavi|December 18, 2024
RUSSIA's parliament on Tuesday approved a bill that could pave the way for Moscow to lift its designation of the Taliban as a banned "terrorist" organisation.

The State Duma passed a bill outlining a mechanism for groups to be legally removed from the list, putting the necessary legal framework in place for an expected future decision.

Russia's upper house Federation Council will consider the bill on Friday, before it passes to President Vladimir Putin to sign into law.
