Russia's Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lawsuit barring the Yabloko party from the September parliamentary election for the 450-seat State Duma. The ruling followed accusations from the Rodina party of copyright infringement, extremism, and illegal foreign financing. Hundreds of supporters gathered outside the court, chanting 'Shame,' while Yabloko leader Nikolai Rybakov stated the party will appeal and continue operations in Russia.
