First Foreign Tourists Arrested Under Russia’s “Gay Propaganda” Law

Four Dutch tourists were arrested in Russia for spreading “gay propaganda,” making them the first foreigners to be charged under the country’s controversial anti-gay laws.
One of the Dutch citizens, Kris van der Veen — an LGBT activist — was believed to be making a documentary about gay rights in Russia when he and his two companions were arrested Sunday in the northern city of Murmansk (right) for violating the “rules of stay.”

I suppose the islamic states and sub-saharan African states will still send teams. Everyone else should make a big show of snubbing the damned fascists in Russia.
