Russian authorities warn “simultaneous” gatherings at polling stations is a “criminal offense”
Moscow prosecutor’s office issued an official statement on its social media page saying they “identified” calls online “for an unlimited number of people to arrive simultaneously to participate at 12:00 p.m. on March 17, 2024, in uncoordinated mass public events at polling stations in Moscow with the aim of violating election legislation… Since these illegal actions can distract citizens from freely exercising their voting rights and distract the work of election commissions, we clarify that Art. 141 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for criminal liability.”
