The head of the Golos Association, Liliya Shibanova, was detained on the night of December 3 at Sheremetyevo airport. Her laptop was confiscated, and customs officers did not present any documents. The laptop was seized until February 2012 for some kind of inspection, and customs officials do not rule out that they will extend the seizure period by two months.
A massive attack is being carried out on Golos. In response to a deputy’s request, an administrative case was opened for violation of election legislation, and the court decided to collect 30 thousand rubles from the organization monitoring violations of the elections. NTV (“Surkov’s propaganda”) made a supposedly revealing film about the association about how “The Voice” is sponsored by the bad United States. Well, the head of the Central Election Commission, Vladimir Churov, of course, did not stand aside; he criticized them for allegedly noting violations only by the party in power.
