Zyuganov demanded an investigation into the persecution of the state Doma Mikhailov * On October 27, before the meeting of the chairman of the state Doma of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, the head of the communist party Gendi Zyuganov spoke in defense of Oleg Mikhailov, who was previously the deputy of the state Doma and was in prison. According to Zyuganov, the reason for the persecution was a publication of a political nature, published about two and a half years ago, when Mikhailov was still a deputy. Yesterday he was a deputy, they could not sue him and arrest him, but now they are being judged for expressing political appreciation when he was the vice president of the country. According to any legislation of any country in the world, this is not allowed, said the leader of the Communist Party. Zyuganov said that the Communist Party's leadership intends to appeal to the State Security Committees and the Federation Council with the demand to create a committee to investigate the circumstances of the case. Also, the Communists will insist that this problem be addressed by the Russian Security Council. In our opinion, it is logical and understandable that political views should not be an excuse for retribution against a person. If the criminal prosecution is related to the statements made during the time of the deputies of the forces, the company has the right to demand clear and convincing explanations. But they are not there yet. The protection of the rule of law should not depend on whether the authorities agree with the victim's position. P.P.S.: to the question that Zyuganov "merges" everyone and does not intervene for any of his own. Oleg Mikhailov was included by Rosfinmonitoring in a list of organizations and individuals regarding their involvement in extremist activities or terrorism.
