Police in Moscow raided multiple bars early Saturday and arrested the director of a travel agency serving LGBTQ+ customers under laws criminalizing “LGBT propaganda,” state media reported. The raids came on the one-year anniversary of Russia’s Supreme Court outlawing the “international LGBT movement,” paving the way for arrests and prosecutions of the country’s already repressed LGBTQ+ community. Russian security forces raided at least three bars and nightclubs overnight “as part of measures to combat LGBT propaganda,” state-run TASS news agency reported. Social media videos from the Arma nightclub (formerly Mutabor) showed club-goers sitting on the dancefloor while riot police walked around shouting orders.
