Good afternoon dear visitors of our site
Today we are presenting you a document that we have been developing and putting together over the past year. As you all know in 2024 the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation made a decision, which designated representatives of the LGBTIQ+ community in Russia and the whole movement as an extremist organization and officially started hunting and extermination of everyone who stood out from the crowd and was “different”. Throughout the year and to this day in Russia gay clubs and queen establishments have been closed, films and theatrical productions with any plot line that shows same-sex love or a hint of it have been banned, books and any information have been banned from publication. Organizations and individuals face huge fines, as well as imprisonment because of their orientation or gender identity. In the paper we prepared we analyzed the Supreme Court decision and analyzed every word in the decision and concluded why the decision violates human rights and is divisive to democracy.
We also explained why Russia should be officially recognized as a dangerous country for LGBTIQ+ people and LGBTIQ+ refugees from this country should be given protection status.
We hope that this document will be useful to human rights defenders, lawyers and legal professionals, as well as governmental authorities in all countries when making decisions on asylum applications for LGBTIQ+ refugees from Russia.
