ALDE Party deplores attack on Yabloko member in Russia
Lev Shlosberg
The ALDE Party deplores the attack on Lev Shlosberg, a member of YABLOKO, one of our two member parties in Russia. Mr. Shlosberg was severely injured on Sunday in what is believed to be a crime that can be attributed to the mobbing of people in Russia that hold a different point of view on the situation in Ukraine. We call for a thorough investigation of who implemented and ordered this crime and expect the perpetrators be brough to justice.
Sergei Mitrokhin, the leader of Yabloko, commented that it was a very brave act that he investigated the case and wrote such an article giving all the world the facts.
On Sunday, ALDE Party President Sir Graham Watson commented on Twitter that it is: “worrying to learn of the severe beating of our Liberal friend Lev Shlosberg of Pskov in Russia, who revealed a dispatch of paratroopers to Donetsk.”
