PoliticsRussia continues arrests of banned pro-peace Yabloko party members

Russia’s Yabloko opposition party said authorities detained two of its candidates on Sept. 4 as parliamentary elections approach. The Supreme Court had barred Yabloko from the party-list race, while candidates could still run in constituency contests. The arrests were allegedly for displaying extremist symbols; another candidate was detained on Sept. 1.
