 Russia Finds Deceased LGBTQ Travel Agent Guilty of Extremism

A Moscow court has found 48-year-old LGBTQ travel agent Andrei Kotov guilty of extremism—one year after he died by suicide in jail. Kotov, head of Men Travel, was detained in November 2024, alleging he was beaten by police and later charged with extremism and using underage people for pornography. Rights groups say the case was a “show trial” designed to intimidate and silence the LGBTQ community. Russia’s crackdown on LGBTQ individuals has intensified since the Ukraine war, with President Vladimir Putin promoting “traditional family values” and labelling anything contrary as foreign-influenced. The Supreme Court banned the “international LGBT movement” as extremist in 2023, paving the way for arbitrary prosecution of LGBTQ people and their allies. The posthumous conviction comes despite Kotov’s death in pre-trial detention, raising concerns of judicial excess and deepening Russia’s human rights crisis. Activists warn the atmosphere […]

King Charles Honors UK’s LGBTQ Veterans at New Memorial

King Charles III has honored the United Kingdom's LGBTQ military personnel by laying a wreath at the country's first memorial dedicated to them. The ceremony took place on Monday at the National Memorial Arboretum in central England. The memorial, titled "An Opened Letter," acknowledges the service of personnel who were historically banned from serving due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Although homosexuality was partially decriminalized in 1967, a full ban on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people serving in the UK military remained until the year 2000. A 2023 government report revealed that those suspected of being LGBTQ during the ban faced harassment, abuse, and were often dismissed from service. Many lost their pensions and faced financial hardship. Brigadier Clare Phillips stated at the ceremony that for many veterans, their experiences were "catastrophic." The new memorial serves as […]

Kano Moves to Criminalise Same-Sex Marriage, ‘Immoral Practices’

The Kano State Government has approved the transmission of a bill to the House of Assembly seeking to criminalise same-sex marriage and other practices deemed immoral in the state. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf gave the approval during the 31st Executive Council meeting held at the Government House Annexe in Kwankwasiyya City, according to a statement issued Friday by his spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa. Kano, one of Nigeria’s most populous northern states, operates under Sharia law alongside the Nigerian Constitution. Since the early 2000s, when Sharia was formally introduced, successive administrations have enforced strict regulations on morality, culture, and religion. Nigeria already prohibits same-sex unions under the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act of 2014, which prescribes up to 14 years in prison. However, northern states like Kano often pursue stricter enforcement aligned with Islamic teachings. The governor emphasised his administration’s resolve to uphold […]
