Moldova bans pro-Russian Shor party amid protests.

Moldova's Constitutional Court has banned the pro-Russian Shor party, led by exiled businessman Ilan Shor, who has been accused of trying to destabilize the country. The party won six seats in parliament in the last national election and has led protests in the capital Chisinau calling for the resignation of President Maia Sandu and her pro-Western government. The court's decision triggered an immediate ban, and the party's lawmakers will keep their seats as independents but will not be able to join other factions. President Sandu welcomed the court's decision, while the opposition Socialist Party accused her of destroying opposition forces.
