The election commander of the Republic of Dagestan refused to register a member of the Council for Human Rights by journalist Maxim Shevchenko as a candidate for elections to the State Duma, the interlocutor reports . The reason was the discrepancy between the dates in the signature sheets handed over to him.
“He presented 17199 signatures. 5915 signatures were verified, out of this amount of 1057 signatures were recognized as unreliable and invalid, this is 17.8 percent of the quantity of the proven. And accordingly, 16142 signatures are left to be registered. The statement of five or more percentage of unreliable signatures from the number of certified ones is also an independent basis for refusing to register,” - The representative of the regional election commission Magomed Dibirov said. He noted that Shevchenko has the right to appeal the decision of the election commission either to the CEC or in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Dagestan.
Shevchenko himself is sure that the decision to remove him from the elections was made due to his conflict with the Dagestan security forces. “The signatures of the signatures are carried out by the criminals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I criticize the enough of the Dagestan Ministry of Internal Affairs for a massive violation of human rights,” the journalist said . “As a result, this is the department and makes a decision on my admission to the elections. I believe that this is simply absurd. They attract experts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to determine that there is no other examination in Russia. It is the department whose department is the leadership, with the leadership of which the department is with the leadership of which the department is with the leadership of There was a strict conflict of their charges of violating human rights, moreover, I know that Minister Abdurashid Magomedov personally said: either the epaulettes on the table, or the Shevchenko are stopped for me, they are ready to confirm their signatures, it is tens of thousands of people. ” Shevchenko intends to appeal the refusal of registration.
On Wednesday, Shevchenko commented on the audio recording of the meeting of the Presidential Administration of Dagestan with the heads of municipalities of the republic that appeared on the Internet. It was about the withdrawal of opposition candidates from the elections. “Breaking, blackmail, direct pressure, bribery. They simply give out a severity. The president of Russia speaks of the competitiveness and transparency that leads to the legitimacy of the elections, and the Dagestan bureaucratic nomenclature has his opinion on this subject at all costs. In my opinion, all this is a pure criminality. At least a violation of the election law,” the journalist wrote.
