05 July 2011, 18:00Permission denied for sex minorities' action on Arbat Street
Moscow, July 5, Interfax - The Moscow authorities have denied sex minorities permission to stage an action near the Aeroflot - Russian Airlines office on Arbat Street in Moscow.
"The authorities have again violated the law: the prefecture of the Central Administrative District said, in response to our notification, that the above action may provoke mass violations of public order and endanger the safety of participants," the action's organizer Nikolay Alexeyev told Interfax on Tuesday.
Activists intend to support the creation of the first group of fighters for the rights of sex minorities in a major Russian company, he said.
Plans to set up a group in support of sex minorities' rights at a leading Russian air carrier became known on June 20.
"Similar groups exist in other air companies, including Air France-KLM, Aeroflot's partner in the Sky Team global alliance. Members of this group participate in gay parades annually," Alexeyev said, adding that an Aeroflot male flight attendant was the group's founder.
The organizers intend to go ahead with the action despite the authorities' ban and to appeal the decision in courts up to the Strasbourg Court, he said.
"All documents regarding this case will be sent to the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers as further proof that Russia ignores the European Court's ruling in our case," Alexeyev said.
There has been no official comment from the Moscow Mayor's Office or Aeroflot.
