A new report documents the rise of punitive legal measures restricting civil society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It highlights the spread of “foreign agent” laws, censorship of harm reduction outreach under “drug propaganda” bans, and anti-LGBTQI+ legislation in 29 countries across the region. These legal trends undermine civic space, public health, and human rights, limiting access to life-saving services for marginalized populations. The report calls for coordinated advocacy, legal challenges, and cross-border solidarity to protect community organizations and promote health, human rights, and evidence-based responses.
