The Central Electoral Commission considers the operations of the "Yabloko Without Yavlinsky" movement unlawful

Moscow, September 29, 2003 /BPI/. The Central Electoral Commission of the RF considers the operations of the "Yabloko Without Yavlinsky" movement unlawful. Such a statement was made by Head of the Central Electoral Commission Alexander Veshnyakov in his speech about the results of the meeting of the Commission.

He also said that the Central Electoral Commission had examined the pledge of the Deputy Chairman of the YABLOKO party Sergei Mitrokhin related to the operations of the public public association "Yabloko Without Yavlinsky". The working group of the Central Electoral Commission for Information Conflicts detected unlawful propaganda in the actions of this organisation that were carried out in a number of Russian regions from 3 -13 September, noted Veshnyakov. On Sunday the meeting of the Central Electoral Commission adopted a decision to agree with the conclusions of the working group and request that the Interior Ministry of the RF and the General Office of the Public Prosecutor abolish the operations of the "Yabloko Without Yavlinsky" movement and make a number of its activists answerable for their actions.

The head of the Central Electoral Commission thinks that the actions of the "Yabloko Without Yavlinsky" movement represent propaganda against the YABLOKO party and its leader. In addition Veshnyakov also pointed out that the propaganda materials that were published in the regional mass media had not been paid from the election fund (Ed. As required by the law), and that the organisation was not even registered as a political party. The Head of the Central Electoral Commission also stressed that he was extremely opposed to such actions during the pre-election period.
