> Yabloko chairman Nikolai Rybakov has urged Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev to stop what the party calls persecution of supporters who gathered outside the Supreme Court. Yabloko says police are visiting their homes and opening administrative cases over alleged rally violations, despite many detainees being released without charges. At least three supporters were later sentenced to administrative arrest.
