Peaceful marchers at Moscow Pride were viciously attacked by gangs of right-wing extremists in June. Rather than take on the extremists, the Mayor of Moscow has caved to them - upholding a ban that makes Pride illegal in Moscow.

Don't let this violence set the stage for the celebrations of acceptance, support and pride everywhere. Please sign this statement demanding that Russian President Dimitry Medvedev denounce the violence and compel Mayor Sobyanin to make Pride legal once and for all.

President Medvedev: Stop the violent repression of LGBT People

We urge you to condemn the violence that occurred at this year's Moscow's Pride march. This marks the sixth year that LGBT people were denied freedom of assembly.

It is your responsibility to ensure the security and freedom of expression for ALL Russians, including LGBT Russians. Please speak up against the violent repression of Moscow's LGBT community and compel Mayor Sobyanin to make Pride legal once and for all.
