Russian parliamentary election: Russia: Election exclusion of anti-war party confirmed

Russia's Supreme Court has upheld its decision to exclude the anti-war party Jabloko from the parliamentary election in September. The court, led by Vladimir Zaizev, rejected Jabloko's objections to last week's ruling. Jabloko will now file a supervisory appeal with the Presidium of the Supreme Court. The party's leader, Nikolai Rybakov, had previously demanded that the court reinstate Jabloko's registration for the September 18-20 election, which had been approved by the election commission in July.
