Noted gay activist Peter Tatchell has
described for Pink News the degree of collaboration between antigay skinsheads/thugs and the Moscow police who roughly broke up the latest attempt in Moscow to publicly protest that country's treatment of its gay citizens. His account differs markedly from the
whitewashed Russia Today coverage of the incident.
We witnessed a high level of fraternisation and collusion between neo-Nazis and the Moscow police. I saw neo-Nazis leave and re-enter police buses parked on Tverskaya Street by City Hall
Our suspicion is that many of the neo-Nazis were actually plainclothes police officers, who did to us what their uniformed colleagues dared not do in front of the world’s media. Either that, or the police were actively facilitating the right-wing extremists with transport to the protest.
