A headquarters for provision of legal assistance to citizens detained at the protest rallies held in different cities of Russia on 5 May opened in the central office of Yabloko in Moscow.
Yabloko’s Russian web-site gives telephones of its public reception office and party’s lawyers who provide legal assistance to the detained and their relatives.
Headquarters for providing assistance to the detained was also deployed in St. Petersburg. Here Yabloko conducts this work jointly with the Office of Alexander Shishlov, Ombudsman for Human Rights in St. Petersburg, and the Detainees Assistance Group.
Yabloko also provided legal assistance to the detained last year, during the protests of 26 March and 12 June, 2017, that led to mass detentions. Then Yabloko managed to help several dozen detainees in Moscow and other regions.
