Jabloko party barred from Russian parliamentary elections by Supreme Court FAST-MOVING

Russia's Supreme Court has barred the liberal opposition party Jabloko from participating in the upcoming parliamentary and local elections scheduled for September 18 to 20. The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by the pro-Kremlin nationalist party Rodina, which alleged that Jabloko committed various legal violations.

Rodina's accusations include copyright infringements in campaign materials and receiving undeclared campaign financing from foreign sources, specifically mentioning the USA and Germany. Additionally, the party and the prosecutor's office characterized Jabloko's anti-war stance and calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine as forms of extremism that threaten Russia's territorial integrity.

Jabloko leader Nikolai Rybakov denied all allegations, describing the proceedings as an unconstitutional attack on freedom of thought and a move to eliminate political competition. He noted that the party had already been cleared by the Central Election Commission and the Ministry of Justice. Jabloko has announced its intention to appeal the court's decision.
