Activistul LGBTI din Rusia

Activistul LGBTI din Rusia, acuzat de propagandă homosexuală


Autoritățile au acuzat recent un activist rus LGBTI care răspândea "propaganda homosexualității în rândul minorilor".

 Rețeaua LGBT din Rusia, care lucrează cu activistul Alexander Yubors, a raportat pentru prima dată incidentul.  Autoritățile au acuzat-o pe Yubors la 1 iulie, după participarea la mai multe evenimente LGBTI.

 Potrivit organizației LGBTI, Yubors a primit o chemare la 28 iunie pentru a se prezenta în fața Departamentului Afacerilor Interne din districtul Kirovskiy din Yaroslavl.  Autoritățile ruse l-au adus în conformitate cu articolul 6.21 din Codul administrativ - "propaganda relațiilor homosexuale netradiționale".

 Când Yubors a sosit la minister, cineva a întocmit un protocol conform articolului 6.21. În consecință, a mărturisit în scris că nu este de acord cu protocolul și își menține nevinovăția.

Yubors is the leader of the Yaroslavl ‘Callisto’ LGBT movement, a member of the Russian LGBT Network.

He released a statement on behalf of himself and the Callisto group.

‘This case has no precedent in Yaroslavl. We, ‘Callisto’ LGBT movement, consider the article 6.21 of the Administrative Code to be unconstitutional that violates human rights, and we advocate for its abolition because its main purpose is to pressure a minority that is objectionable to the government,’ he said.

‘We’re not scared of any protocols. We will continue to advocate for and defend the rights of LGBT people.’

A country’s continued mission against homosexuality

Despite President Vladimir Putin’s claims that people’s criticism of Russia’s anti-LGBTI policies are ‘mistaken’, actions in the country say otherwise.
