Hollywood star George Clooney has downplayed claims that the foundation he funds with his wife, Amal, is planning to seek the arrest of “Russian propagandists.”

The actor was responding to remarks by Anna Neistat, legal director of The Docket, a unit focused on journalism sponsored by the Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ). Neistat, who is Soviet-born, has held senior positions in Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

In an interview last week with the Russian-language version of the US government-funded media outlet Voice of America, Neistat claimed her team is working to secure arrest warrants for Russian media professionals for alleged “incitement to genocide” in Ukraine and is seeking a nation willing to prosecute Russians based on “propaganda of aggressive war.”
