Head of Central Electoral Commission decided to �ban� YABLOKO�s observers

Press Release

March 2, 2012

YABLOKO has obtained information that the Central Electoral Commission has been preparing a letter to the subordinate commissions demanding not to let journalists and observers from YABLOKO�s paper YABLOKO ROSSII come to the polling stations.

Vladimir Churov, head of Central Electoral Commission, will try to prove that observers� certificates were signed by �Sergei Mitrokhin, YABLOKO Chairman�, and not by �Sergei Mitrokhin, Editor-in-Chief�.

However, YABLOKO�s lawyers said that the certificates were issued correctly, as Mitrokhin does not have a position of Editor-in-Chief, as the founder of the paper � the YABLOKO party � acts as the editorial staff of the paper.

�Such a decision by the Central Electoral Commission would mean that the authorities decided to go for a grand-scale fraud,� Mitrokhin said.

According to Mitrokhin, at December parliamentary elections YABLOKO�s observers detected most of the violations and fraud. If dozens of thousands of YABLOKO�s observes are not allowed to monitor the elections, they will go into the streets on the next day, March 5.
