Justiz: Russland: Liberale Oppositionspartei reicht Berufung ein
Die offen gegen den russischen Angriffskrieg auftretende Oppositionspartei Jabloko wurde von der Parlamentswahl in Russland ausgeschlossen. Sie will weiterkämpfen - und geht den nächsten Schritt.
Moscow - The liberal opposition party Jabloko has filed an appeal against the ruling that barred them from participating in the Russian parliamentary election. Party leader Nikolai Rybakow stated in a video released by the party, "Jabloko will be on the ballot for the Duma election." Experts, however, believe that the Kremlin-controlled court will uphold its decision.
The appeal hearing is set for Monday. The party's lawyers have meticulously proven that there is no basis for excluding Jabloko from the September election, Rybakow explained. "All of this was premeditated, and we will continue to prove it under Russian legal provisions." The Supreme Court of Russia heard a complaint from the Kremlin-friendly non-parliamentary and ultra-nationalist party Rodina earlier that Monday and excluded Jabloko from the parliamentary election.
The judge criticized for being a Kremlin servant, Vyacheslav Kiriakov, followed the prosecution's request, which deemed Rodina's complaint against the election authorities justified. The central election commission unexpectedly decided in July to include Jabloko in the Duma election. The nationwide parliamentary and local elections are scheduled from September 18 to 20.
