St. Petersburg, September 2, 2003. Prosecutor General
Office of the RF had examined a request from Deputy Chairman of the YABLOKO
party Sergei Mitrokhin
dated August 14, 2003. YABLOKO's press service informed Rosbalt correspondent
that the request referred to "dissemination by the leader of "Yabloko
without Yavlinsky" movement and some media information defaming the
leadership of the YABLOKO party."
The answer from Prosecutor's Office runs states that the request has
been forwarded to prosecutors of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov and Perm regions "to
hold an investigation and ensure that the prosecutor adopts measures,
provided that there are sufficient grounds to do so."
The "Yabloko without Yavlinsky" movement was created in summer
2003 by "supporters" of the YABLOKO party. The members of the
organisation insist on Grigory
Yavlinsky's being pushed from the post of the party leader.
