Russische Parlamentswahl: Russland: Wahlausschluss von Anti-Kriegs-Partei bestätigt

Die russische Anti-Kriegs-Partei Jabloko kämpft vor Russlands Oberstem Gericht um Zulassung zur Parlamentswahl. Aber das Berufungsverfahren endet, wie viele es erwartet haben.

Russische Parlamentswahl: Russland: Wahlausschluss von Anti-Kriegs-Partei bestätigt

Moscow - The Russian Supreme Court has upheld its decision to exclude the anti-war party Jabloko from the September parliamentary election, confirming its ruling last week. The court, presided over by Chairman Vladimir Sizew, rejected the liberal opposition party's objections to the previous week's verdict. Jabloko's chances of success were always gloomy from the start.

The party now plans to file a supervisory complaint to the Supreme Court plenary, Jabloko announced. Party leader Nikolai Rybakov had previously demanded that the Supreme Court reinstate Jabloko's eligibility to vote from September 18th to 20th, which the court had denied a week earlier. A week ago, the court heard a case from the Kremlin-friendly ultra-nationalist party Rodina, which accused Jabloko of violating Russian electoral laws.

This was the first time a licensed party had been excluded from the election in Russia. The three-member judicial panel now presumably confirmed the decision.
