An Ostorozhno Media journalist was given a warning over his work at the hearing on removing Yabloko; he was accredited, and the Supreme Court broadcast the hearing publicly

Today, a journalist from “Ostorozhno, Novosti” was issued a warning “about the inadmissibility of actions that create conditions for the commission of crimes.” The outlet writes that he was working directly at the Supreme Court hearing, rather than filming people gathered outside the building.

In addition, the Supreme Court had accredited the journalist in advance to cover the hearing. The outlet suggests that he was tracked using surveillance cameras, because on August 10, when Yabloko’s federal list was removed from the election, police did not stop the journalist or check his documents.

If he “continues antisocial behavior,” he may be held liable, the warning says.

🔹On Friday, it became known that police had begun issuing warnings to people who came to support Yabloko outside the Supreme Court building.

Those who received them included SOTAvision journalist Veronika Orlova and Yabloko candidate for the Cheryomushkinsky single-mandate district Alexey Smirnov. As “Ostorozhno, Novosti” writes, warnings were also attempted to be handed to several members of Yabloko’s Moscow branch, the party’s State Duma candidates, and “dozens” of its supporters who were outside the Supreme Court building on August 10.

🔵Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will consider Yabloko’s appeal against the party’s removal from the election.
