On September 25, 2012, Murad Nurmuradov, a lawyer and one
of the top figures in YABLOKOs list of candidates for elections
to the Tver City Duma was attacked in Tver.
Two unidentified men in masks and camouflage uniforms entered
Nurmuradovs office and severely beaten him. Nurmuradov was
hospitalized with a head injury, broken arm and other multiple
injuries.
According to the results of the audits conducted by Nurmuradov
in seven municipal companies, all seven directors of these
companies were dismissed and personnel changes in the Tver
city administration were underway.
Nurmuradov was member of the Tver City Duma from the CPRF
faction, however, left the faction due to discords around
fight with corruption.
Members of the Tver branch of YABLOKO - United Democrats
do not rule out the political causes of the case an attack
against a principled lawyer attorney and increasingly popular
politician.
An open attack against a registered candidate is a challenge
to the city and its residents.
We demand a thoroughly investigation of this case by the
law enforcement.
The goal of the crime was clearly intimidation. But they will
not scare us!
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chair of the YABLOKO party
Murad Nurmuradov, candidate to the Tver City Duma from YABLOKO
