Russia on Friday, March 22, has reportedly included the "LGBT movement" in its list of extremist and terrorist organisations following a ruling by the country's Supreme Court last November. This move, feared by representatives of the gay and transgender community, aligns with concerns of potential arrests and prosecutions. As per reports, the designation places the LGBT movement on a list maintained by Rosfinmonitoring, granting authorities the power to freeze bank accounts of over 14,000 individuals and entities categorised as extremists and terrorists. Russia Bans LGBTQ Movement: Top Russian Court Effectively Outlaws LGBTQ Activism in a Landmark Ruling, Asks Government To Designate Gays As Extremists.
