BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany urged Russia on Friday to reverse a decision to ban three German non-governmental organisations it labelled as "undesirable" entities.

"To prohibit them from working is totally incomprehensible," Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said during a regular government news conference, demanding a reversal of "this unjust measure."
