The YABLOKO congratulates the staff of the Baikal Ecological
Wave who managed to prove that impounding of computers and
software from their office was unlawful. The computers are
returned, and the Irkutsk police brought their apologizes
to the ecologists.
During the investigation it was confirmed (however, this
was obvious from the beginning): the Baikal Ecological Weave
used only licensed software.
In late January, the police of the Irkutsk region without
obtaining a decision from the court or a public prosecutor
tried to block the work of the largest public organisation
connected with protection of the Lake Baikal – the Baikal
Ecological Wave – impounding its computers under a pretext
that the organisation had been using unlicensed software.
At the same time the police refused to have a look at the
certificates shown to them and proving the legality of the
software.
