Man arrested under Russia's 'international LGBT extremism' law dies in custody
Murder—
Andrei Kotov ran a travel agency that reportedly catered to gay men.
Andrei Kotov, 48, was found dead around 4 a.m. on Sunday at the Vodnik pretrial detention center, where he was awaiting trial on charges of supporting an international LGBT extremist terrorist movement. Leisan Mannapova, Kotov’s lawyer, confirmed her client died by suicide. His body was discovered in his cell covered in blood, and “cuts were found” on his body, an internal source told RIA Novosti.
Kotov ran Men Travel, a travel agency reportedly catering to gay men. He had recently concluded a cruise along the Volga River and was planning a trip to Egypt to ring in the New Year at the time of his arrest.

Sadly, not the least bit surprising.

It’s awful, but I said above, not the least bit surprising. Most of us should be thankful we live in a place where we don’t have to worry about this since many gay men do.
Fuck Russia by the way. I don’t know that I could ever wish death on someone, but I am very interested to know when Vladimir Putin is going to shut off his mortal coil.

Russia is a cesspool, and frankly, we need more threads on this atrocity
