Stephen Fry calls for Olympics to be taken from Sochi
None
British actor and writer Stephen Fry has called for the 2014 Winter Olympics to be taken away from Sochi in a protest against Russia's new anti-gay laws.
The openly gay activist released a letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron and International Olympic Committee executives on Wednesday asking them not to give Russian President Vladimir Putin "the approval of the civilized world." According to Fry: "For there to be a Russian Winter Olympics would stain the movement forever, the Five Rings would finally be forever smeared, besmirched and ruined in the eyes of the civilized world."
