Report: Anti-LGBT Violence Has Increased In Russia Since “Propaganda” Ban

Susie Armitage

A new report from Human Rights Watch details rising violence against LGBT people in Russia since the country adopted a ban on "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" among minors in 2013. The research comes on the heels of Russian President Vladimir Putin's comments that his country has been unfairly labeled as anti-LGBT.

"Russia recognizes and does not infringe upon the rights of people with non-traditional sexual orientations," Putin said at a Dec. 5 meeting with Russian human rights officials.



Warning the pictures are graphic.
