Courts begin convicting people displaying symbols associated with ‘LGBT movement’ designated as extremist last year

Two Russian courts have this week handed out the first convictions in connection with what the government calls the “international LGBT social movement” which was designated as extremist last year.

On Thursday, a court in the southern region of Volgograd found a man guilty of “displaying the symbols of an extremist organisation” after he posted a photograph of an LGBT flag online, according to the court’s press service.
