YABLOKO�s
activists were detained in Ekaterinburg on September 19 and
brought to the local police department for investigation.
Four YABLOKO�s activists (including three minors) were handing
leaflets inviting citizens to join YABLOKO�s picket against
growth of tariffs for housing and utilities services on September
20.
The police told to Maxim Petlin, leader of regional YABLOKO
branch, that the activists did not have a right to distribute
leaflets without publisher�s imprint data.
Maxim Petlin called these claims absurd, as �the law does
not require to indicate imprint data on the leaflets outside
the election period�.
The picket against growth of tariffs will be conducted on
permission of the authorities on September 20. YABLOKO will
protest against 70% growth of tariffs on cold water provision
by 2010.
