Press release, 02.06.2016
The YABLOKO activists conducted a one-person picket in support of Article 31 of the Constitution, which grants the right to free assembly, in Vologda, on 31 May.
The aim of the action is to call the attention of the authorities to unlawful arrests which have become more frequent of late and to remind the citizens about their constitutional rights.
“There is an old problem with the freedom to assembly in Vologda. We respect the Constitution of Russia and call everybody to do so, no matter what status or post they have,” Deputy Chair of the Vologda branch of YABLOKO Roman Morozov commented.
