Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill banning so-called LGBTQ 'propaganda' in Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill banning so-called LGBTQ “propaganda” in Russia, in the latest crackdown on human rights in the country. The new laws significantly broaden the scope of a 2013 law which banned the dissemination of LGBTQ-related information to minors. The new iteration extends the ban on promoting such information to adults as well.
” These fines rise to up to 5 million rubles and 4 million rubles respectively for legal entities. The law was approved by the Russia’s upper and lower houses in recent weeks. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2017 that the 2013 law is discriminatory, promotes homophobia and violates the European Convention on Human Rights.
