Based on Echo Moskvi reports
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin commenting to the Echo Moskvi
radio station the searches in the homes of Alexei Navalny
and other opposition activists noted that police reprisals
also affected YABLOKOs activists:
"Our activists are affected, in particular, such psychological
pressure was used against Kirilll Gontcharov, leader of the
Moscow branch of Youth YABLOKO, as police tried to get into
his home yesterday. Now he has to hide. Our activists also
suffer from this impudent police pressure, which is not connected
to any violations and is not based on law.
I believe that after the adoption of amendments to the law
on rallies the country transferred to an open dictatorship
regime. Putin ceased imitating democracy, he abandoned all
his masks. Searches and other police actions are the links
of the same chain. "
