Nikolai Rybakov on in the persecution of the Moscow branch of Yabloko
FB post by Nikolai Rybakov, 27.03.2019
Today, we have two news related to the prosecution of our party. I will start with the good one:
- The criminal case against Lev Shlosberg [MP of the Pskov Region parliament and head of the Yabloko branch in Pskov] and the Pskov Yabloko was closed due to the absence of corpus delicti.
- Today, police officers from the criminal investigation department came to the office of the Moscow Yabloko after receiving an anonymous call on alleged presence of extremist literature [in the Moscow Yabloko office]. The police took samples of campaign materials, now they will be checked for extremism. I would like to say to the law enforcement bodies: do your profile work in catching criminals (alas, there is a lot of it in Russia) instead of distracting members of a registered party from their work.
