Russian President Putin’s Kremlin targets LGBT community in new crackdown – BBC News
A crackdown against the LGBT+ community in Russia has intensified after a new law was passed by the Russian Parliament.
The bill, which passed in December, places restrictions on almost any mention of LGBT people or culture.
Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is not only fighting Ukraine on the battlefield, but also “Western” values.
During a speech in the Kremlin to mark the illegal annexation of four Ukrainian regions, the president lashed out at the West and LGBT rights, calling them “pure Satanism”.

The US Justice Department is facing backlash from press freedom groups, after it was revealed the government secretly asked for the phone records of several journalists from the New York Times.
A newly unsealed legal filing shows that federal prosecutors targeted the communication logs of multiple investigative reporters, as well as members of their immediate families.
The move was reportedly apart of an aggressive attempt to hunt down anonymous sources behind high level national security leaks.
This comes after the DOJ sparked pushback earlier this month, when it issued subpoenas against Times journalists who reported on the new luxury Air Force One jet donated by Qatar.

Pressure has been growing on India’s government with thousands of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) supporters continuing to protest in the capital Delhi despite heavy rains overnight.
The youth-led movement, seeking education reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, got a boost on Tuesday when India’s main opposition Congress party leaders protested outside the prime minister’s house.
They were protesting against the brutal police crackdown on Monday’s CJP protest in which dozens of protesters and policemen were injured.
Congress shared videos of their MP Rahul Gandhi and others being dragged into buses and taken to detention centres. They were later released.
On Monday, tens of thousands of protesters flooded central Delhi after the CJP called for a march to parliament as the monsoon session began. At least 60 people were injured after police used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowds.

The BBC’s senior investigations correspondent Nawal Al-Maghafi, has just returned from the site of an Iranian school where more than 150 people – most of them children – were killed by a strike on the first day of the US-Israel war with Iran.
She tells us that victims’ families are still searching for the truth about what happened at the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab.
US media have reported that American military investigators believe it is likely that US forces carried out the strike unintentionally. Expert analysts say footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) compound next to the school during the same wave of strikes.
The US government has not admitted responsibility for the strike. President Donald Trump has said we may never know “whose fault” it was, because “there were missiles flying all over the place”.
Nawal Al Maghafi reported from Iran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.
