Russia’s Supreme Court upholds ban on anti-war party Yabloko
The ruling leaves Yabloko off the nationwide party-list ballot after the court cited copyright and campaign finance violations, party officials said.
- On Monday, Russia's Supreme Court upheld its decision to bar the liberal Yabloko party from September legislative elections, finalizing the revocation of the party's federal candidate list.
- Last week, the court removed Yabloko from the ballot following a lawsuit by the nationalist Rodina party, which cited alleged copyright violations and donations totaling 16,900 rubles from individuals with foreign money transfers.
- Police detained at least 35 supporters outside the Moscow courtroom by noon, with Kirill Goncharov, head of Yabloko's Moscow branch, telling Novaya Gazeta that officers appeared "very nervous" during proceedings.
- Inside the courtroom, Yabloko Chairman Nikolai Rybakov called the detentions "intimidation," while 18-year-old supporter Maria stated, "The president wants a great country; he talks about it all the time, and we want a free one."
- With most opposition figures jailed or exiled, Yabloko remains the only liberal party operating in Russia, though deputy chairman Lev Shlosberg was sentenced Monday to 11 years and one month in prison for criticizing the war.
