Moscow arrests at anti-war rally
Supporters of the Russian opposition party Yabloko staged a protest to challenge the decision to bar them from participating in the parliamentary elections. However, Russian police detained around sixty of them in Moscow, and security forces dispersed party supporters near the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also rejected the appeal and explicitly refused to allow the party to participate. This occurs amid increasing pressure on party members due to their opposition to the war in Ukraine. Additionally, the party’s vice chairman, Lev Schlosberg, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for statements against the Russian military, as scrutiny on anti-war activists in the country continues to intensify.
