Russian Police Arrest Activists at Moscow Gay Pride Rally: VIDEO

May 31, 2014 by Andy Towle

Moscow

At least six people were arrested at two gay pride rallies in Moscow on Saturday.

Writes Evgeny Feldman at Mashable:

On Saturday, there were about 30 participants in the two rallies, compared with perhaps 60 or 70 last year. One demonstration was held in front of the Moscow mayor's office, a traditional site for such rallies. It was meant to honor Conchita Wurst, a drag performer who won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. Women painted beards on their faces to match Wurst's signature look. A second rally was held in an area dubbed "Hyde Park," which is meant to quarantine free-speech demonstrations. Although authorities had apparently permitted that rally, at least four people were arrested.
