WIRE — Russia's Supreme Court has ruled to remove the opposition party Yabloko from the ballot in the election for the State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament. The Rodina party filed the lawsuit last Friday, accusing Yabloko of an assortment of violations that included copyright infringement, illegal campaigning, and support for extremism.

The ruling has not taken legal effect, and Yabloko says it will appeal.
