Russia moves to ban ‘international LGBT movement’ for ‘extremism’

The Russian Ministry of Justice has announced the submission of an administrative legal claim to the Supreme Court, seeking the recognition of the International LGBT public movement as extremist and the prohibition of its activities in Russia.

The ministry did not clarify whether the intended ban targeted specific groups or organizations, leaving ambiguity regarding its potential impact on the LGBTQ community, related causes, and individuals at large.

This proposed prohibition is part of an ongoing and intensified crackdown on LGBTQ individuals in Russia, a trend that has heightened since the commencement of Russia’s offensive on Ukraine in February of the preceding year.

Russia has previously employed the extremist classification against various rights organizations and opposition groups, exposing their members to legal repercussions, France 24 reported.
