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.
