| YABLOKO expresses protest in view of intimidation of Golos,
an independent association engaged in election monitoring.
The ruling United Russia party, A Just Russia party and LDPR
launched an intimidation campaign against Golos asking Prosecutor
General to suspend Golos monitoring of violations during this
parliamentary election campaign and on the voting day December
4.
It is not surprising that the [ruling] United Russia party
does not like the activities by Golos Speaking about participation
of LDPR and A Just Russia parties in this disgusting campaign
against Golos, this completely unmasks the hypocrisy of these
parties advocating fair elections in words only, but actually
servicing to the ruling party helping the latter to intimidate
the most respected Russian public organisation engaged in
elections control, runs YABLOKOs statement.
YABLOKO will continue its cooperation with Golos and will
continue supporting this organisation by all legal means,
Sergei Mitrokhin said.
