- A Russian court sentenced a woman to one year and 8 months of"correctional work" on Monday for pouring green dye on ballots cast in the presidential election in March, a regional branch of the state Investigative Committee said.
Russia's electoral chief called those who tried to disrupt voting"scumbags" and vowed they would face harsh prison sentences. Voting authorities logged scattered incidents of protests throughout the three-day vote, including people pouring green dye into ballot boxes to damage voting slips. The Investigative Committee said the woman, whom it did not name, had gone to a polling station in the town of Kuragino on the first day of the election and, acting at the behest of"unidentified persons", attempted to pour the liquid into a ballot box.
