The Federal Council of the Russian United
Democratic Party YABLOKO expresses indignation in connection
with the attack against journalist of the Kommersant paper
Oleg Kashin who was severely injured.
There is every reason to believe that the attack was related
to his professional activities. YABLOKO wishes to Oleg Kashin
a speedy recovery, and demands from the law enforcement a
thorough investigation and punishment of those who committed
this attack.
The YABLOKO party states that it is ready to participate
in an independent investigation of the circumstances of the
this crime and render all possible assistance, its human and
organizational resources to Editor-in-Chief Mikhail Mikhailin
and the team of the Kommersant paper. YABLOKO has already
had an experience of such investigations: on the case of murder
of our friend and party colleague well-known Russian journalist
Larissa Yudina.

Chair of the YABLOKO party
