In Russia, the opposition party Jabloko has been barred from participating in the parliamentary election scheduled for September. This was announced by the Supreme Court, which made the decision to shape the election.

According to reports, the Kremlin feared a growing influx of support for the liberal party, which may have led to the request for its exclusion. The court ruling amplifies criticism of political repression in Russia.
