The German government will more often provide asylum for a representative: LGBT+ NIC+ from Russia due to the increased risk of political persecution after the adoption of a recent repressive law. The fact of belonging to LGBT+ will be more actively taken into account in the process of considering petitions, said the representative of the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Germany, Maximilian Call. At the same time, the process of getting into Germany is still difficult due to the lack of air traffic and a sharp restriction of the issuance of Schengen visas.

After the recognition of the “International Public Movement of LGBT”, an extremist “sphere” created a petition on All out. In it, the human rights fund appears to the states that signed the international conventions on human rights. The “sphere” calls on to ensure a wider possibility of obtaining visas and travel documents for LGBT+ people and human rights activists: Ts from Russia.

Cooperation: TSE Spheres emphasize the repressiveness of the new legislative norm and risks that threaten LGBT+ and solidarizing people in Russia. The petition is addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Member countries of the European Union, the Supreme Commissar of the UN Human Rights and the Commissar: the Campaign of the European Union.

Anti-LGBT+ legislation in Russia

• After Russia decriminalized voluntary same -sex relations in 1993, the first restriction of the rights of LGBT+ people was the order of the Ministry of Health from 2001, which forbade homosexual men to become blood donors. Human rights: TsAM managed to cancel this ban in 2008.

• Since 2006, regional prohibitions on LGBT+ propaganda among minors began to appear. In 2006, such a law adopted the Ryazan region, and in 2011-2013 - Arkhangelsk, Kostroma, Magadan, Novosibirsk, Samara, Vladimir, Irkutsk regions, Petersburg, Bashkortostan and Krasnodar Territory. In the Kaliningrad region, the law adopted in early 2013 forbade LGBT+ propaganda among both children and adults.

• In the summer of 2013, the State Duma adopted the law Article 6.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses on the ban “LGBT+ propaganda” among minors already at the federal level.

• At the end of 2022, the Law on LGBT+ Propaganda was tightened, which also banned it among adults. The State Duma also introduced a new ban Article 6.21.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses to the Administrative Code - “Demonstrations of LGBT+” by minors.
