The Volzhsky District Court of Saratov declared unlawful the refusal of the authorities to give a permission for Yabloko’s campaign cubes in Saratov and ordered the city administration to review the Yabloko notifications of installation of the cubes again.
Earlier, the Saratov administration had not permitted picketing and distribution of the Yabloko newspaper in streets of the city.
Dmitry Lipensky, an activist of the regional branch of Yabloko, filed claims against the city administration and, in particular, against Alexander Burmak, deputy head of the administration.
“We will seek to bring Alexander Burmak to justice under Article 5.38 of the Administrative Code – obstruction of the organisation or holding of a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picketing, ” Fyodor Demyanchuk, Deputy Chairman of the Saratov branch of Yabloko, stressed.
It should be noted that Yabloko launched its parliamentary election campaign (elections to the State Duma will take place on 19 September) by distributing 1.5 million Yabloko newspapers. Residents of 106 cities in 53 regions of Russia will receive an issue (.pdf https://www.yabloko.ru/files/users/user101/Jabloko.Common.pdf ) of the Yabloko party newspaper, timed to coincide with the start of the election campaign. By 15 June, Yabloko plans to distribute 1.5 million newspapers.
