Police detained a far-right member of the city parliament in Izhvesk, Russia (Republic of Udmurtiya) and charged him with the equivalent of a parole violation, according to a September 5, 2008 report by the Sova Information-Analytical Center. Vasily Kryukov of the "People's Will" party allegedly broke his written pledge not to leave the city until his trial date and ignored a summons to make himself available for questioning by investigators. He originally ran afoul of the law on November 30, 2006 when police went to the offices of "Izhevsky Factory" to investigate the distribution of extremist literature there. Mr. Kryukov allegedly assaulted a police officer and is also accused of dragging out his court proceedings.
