Dear friends,
This is important. Yabloko is not holding, and does not plan to hold, any public actions in any city in Russia. Today this is dangerous for participants.
I ask you not to fall for provocations, and to continue supporting us in other ways — as you can do — through your comments, publications, volunteering, donations, and other lawful and safer means. Nothing is more important to us than your trust and your safety. The elections matter, but your freedom, your health and your life matter far more.
We are preparing for the appeal hearing, and continuing to run our election campaign and our fight for peace and freedom. I ask you: please take care, and don’t fall for provocations!
We also call on police officers to stop all forms of pressure and intimidation against our supporters, who are not committing any unlawful acts.
