The coronavirus and the fight against it. The situation at home and in the world.
Russian members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot and a movement that raised the flag of the LGBTQ community on government buildings in Moscow the day before, the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin, were arrested Thursday, according to an agency report. Russian news agency Interfax.
One of the arrested gang members is Nyika Nyikulsina, the other is Marija Aljohina, who was arrested when she had just left the building of an independent Russian television channel called Dozsgy. Two other Pussy Riot members, Vasily Andrianov and Yelizaveta Gyigyerih, have been in custody since Wednesday and police have appeared at the homes of various members of the movement around the gang in the past two days.
The Interfax report reveals that violations of the assembly rules may be the official reason for the arrest, not the establishment of flags.
On their Facebook page about their action, Pussy Riot wrote that they see it as a “proportionate response” to the Russian state’s interference in the lives of members of the LGBTQ community: “killing gay people in Chechnya, passing transphobic laws and persecuting the fathers of children born to their mothers. “
Remembering, Putin had previously said that no one in Russia is restricted by their sexual orientation. Pussy Riot gifted Putin with the rainbow flag as a symbol of lack of love and freedom. (MTI)
