In late March 2022, as the scale of the corporate exodus from Russia became clear, Moscow legalised parallel imports - the import of products without the permission of the trademark owner.Parallel imports are not banned under international law and are allowed by some countries for certain goods, including Japan and the United Kingdom.

“More commonly, it is used to ensure supply of essential medicines but here, Russia has expanded its lists to more commonplace consumer goods”, Justine Nolan, the director of the Australian Human Rights Institute at UNSW Sydney, told Al Jazeera.The case of Apple, whose products in many cases fall under Western sanctions, provides a typical example of how Russia’s parallel imports regime works in practice.Russia’s largest retailer of Apple products, re:Store, closed for several months "to assess the situation" following the tech giant’s exit.

When re:Store reopened in September 2022, the retailer had changed its name to Restore: and expanded its range, selling not only Apple products but also hairdryers, gaming consoles and smart home appliances from other manufacturers.Restore: does not go to great lengths to hide its use of unofficial supply chains.

When Al Jazeera called Restore:’s technical assistance line posing as a customer, a customer service representative said it sold genuine Apple items sourced from China and Dubai.

“After the sanctions were imposed, suppliers found ways around and continued essentially uninterrupted shipments”, the customer service representative told Al Jazeera.The right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which runs both the state as well as the central government, has drastically escalated security operations, killing at least 201 Maoist rebels, also known as Naxals, this year.

At least 27 rebels were killed on Wednesday, including the leader of the Maoists. In the past 16 months, more than 400 alleged Maoist rebels have been killed in Chhattisgarh state, home to a sizable population of Adivasis (meaning original inhabitants or Indigenous people).But activists are alarmed: They say many of those killed are innocent Adivasis. And campaigners and opposition leaders are urging the government to cease fire and hold talks with Maoist rebels to find a solution to the decades-old issue.

More than 11,000 civilians and security forces have been killed in clashes involving Maoist fighters between 2000 and 2024, according to official figures. Security forces have killed at least 6,160 Maoist fighters during the same period, according to police and Maoist figures.So, will the government’s hardline approach help bring peace, or will it further alienate the Adivasis, who are already one of the most marginalised groups in the country?
