Rainbow NewsActivist asks President Putin to provide "protection and security" for LGBT visitors
15 Dec. 2013
Andrew Lishchinskiy, the general director of company "Spectrum", that manages the popular Moscow gay club Central Station, has addressed an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Message to the President, who often describes "the non-discrimination of gays and lesbians in the country", was compiled in the wake of anothor "fact of wrongful acts committed against LGBT people." It is an ongoing conflict between the Central Station club and the new owners of the building in which it is located.
A new round of harassment, organized according to Ilya Abaturov, by a "fairly well known raider organization" led to the relocation of the concert of "Army of Lovers" to another club. In a few hours the club literally lost the roof, which was dismantled by workers employed by the new owner.
Andrew Lishchinskiy states that "the seizure of the building was done by a professional raider company, acting in the interests of unknown foreign entities, on whose instructions numerous wrongful acts against the LGBT clients were committed in the recent months." Lishchinskiy asks President Vladimir Putin instruct the Interior Ministry, the FSB and the Prosecutor General's Office "to consider this open letter, identify in the law enforcement those responsible for inaction and take measures to effectively protect the security of users and the work of Russia's largest leisure center for LGBT people..."
Earlier, Russian officials have repeatedly invited European politicians to visit Moscow gay clubs to ensure that LGBT citizens in the country are not threatened at all. But, alas, visits to gay clubs are increasingly nervous for visitors served with non-expected genres. The day before, as has been stated in the press, near the "leisure center for LGBT citizens" shots were fired, and during the conflict about 40 people - members of both sides - were detained by the police.
