Russian police detain activists, foes at gay rally

None

Russian police say it detained at least 30 gay rights campaigners and their opponents at an unsanctioned rally in Moscow.

 

The campaigners tried to unfurl banners denouncing the Kremlin-backed homophobic legislation in front of Russia's lower house of parliament, but were attacked by Orthodox Christian vigilantes carrying icons and crosses. (AP)
