Do you need "the" here?
Hi,
Why no "the" here?
...that the ban followed a review of (no "the" here?) "past activities of PROK."
(Is "of PROK" not defining "past activities"?)
Also, when you have a word or several words in the quotation mark" like "the past activities of PROK" or "it", do you need to have a period inside the quotation mark or outside of it.

Honestly, I'd put the "the" in. So I can't say why it's not there. The location of punctuation in relation to quotations is tough - the period and comma always go inside, even when it doesn't seem to make sense to inlcude it there.

See my post on "the names of towns". It's the same principle.
A review of past activities is a review of some past activities.
To say review of the past activities is to imply a review of all of the past activities.
Presumably the review is a review of a few characteristic activities, enough to support the argument being advanced in the ar
