MOSCOW, RU — (12-04-24) — Moscow has disgraced itself by finding twelve Moscow Gay clubgoers guilty of “petty hooliganism” following anti-LGBTQ “propaganda” raids conducted by Russian security forces.

The twelve Russian citizens were arrested last Saturday night and early Sunday at three nightclubs — Arma, Inferno and Mono — in the Russian capital, according to a statement released by government officials to Tass, a Russian news agency.

A Moscow court wrote in two statements the guilty verdicts…“These citizens committed an administrative offense, which was expressed in obvious disrespect for society, accompanied by obscene language in a public place.”

Iphone videos and pics of the police raids were shared on social media over the weekend and showed stunned party goers lying on the dance floors with their hands above their heads as police sifted through the crowds and shouted orders.

The raids were executed one year to the day Russia’s Supreme Court ruled that LGBTQ activists and the LGBTQ “movement” should be designated as extremists.

Russians found guilty of extremism can face up to 12 years in prison.
